## Activations and follow-ups
A unit can keep acting while it has Action Points (AP) and at least one available command. Read each command's AP line as follows:
- **Consumes all remaining AP** or **sets the unit to 0 AP** means **ends activation**. The unit cannot act again this turn.
- A command with only an exact AP cost spends that amount. If the unit still has AP afterward, its activation can continue with whatever commands are then available.
- A command may also end the unit's useful activation because no legal commands remain, even if the display still shows AP.
Movement is the most important case. Each destination shows its movement cost and may show **follow-up available** icons. Those follow-ups are actions predicted to be legal *after reaching that destination*, such as Charge, Scout, Start Fire, Repair, Reduce, or Reinforce.
The follow-up list is a planning aid, not a complete list of everything the unit might do next. It does not include another Move, and battlefield information can change when the move resolves. A destination with no follow-up icons does not itself mean “ends activation”: compare the movement cost with the unit's remaining AP and check the commands offered after arrival.

<b>Action Point cost:</b> the cost to enter the target's terrain. Knights and Dragoons spend only that terrain cost and may be able to move again afterward; other units spend all remaining AP.
<b>Activation:</b> ends activation for units that spend all remaining AP. Knights and Dragoons can continue when they retain AP and another command is available.
<b>Available when:</b> a valid path reaches a target that can be attacked at the end of the move.
<b>Effect:</b> Move into an attack as one action. Charge attacks have a chance to stun the target unit.

<b>Action Point cost:</b> the terrain cost for each hex in the path, plus 1 extra AP for steps that start in enemy zone of control.
<b>Activation:</b> does not inherently end activation. The unit can continue if it has AP and a legal command after arriving. Follow-up icons on a destination preview eligible non-move actions there.
<b>Available when:</b> one or more reachable destination hexes are valid for the acting unit.
<b>Effect:</b> Move the unit along the chosen path to a reachable hex, paying terrain costs as it goes. Hidden units may reveal themselves if they move into exposed terrain or near an enemy Ranger.
