Patch 2 now live.
Hi all sorry for the delay on this one.

Added a detach and move leader button:

If you get a card saying you can move a leader a button will now appear above the end turn button. During the selection phase click that button and you will be able to select the leader of your choice. During the move phase click the button to move the leader if you have more than one leader selected click the button again to move the next leader.

Elephants should now work as intended.

Retreat now applies correct amount of retreat actions and you lose points for moving off the board.

Fixed an issue which was causing some scenarios to have the player on the wrong side of the board.

Command cards which issued an order to a number of a certain type of unit now lets you order 1 unit of your choice if you do not have any of the unit type required by the card. This has been added to the card description.

Fixed graphic settings not saving.

Any issues please let us know.
