What is the difference between local and tactical reserves? What causes each to activate and how far will they travel.

Tactical reserves only moves into an adjecent hex. If any hex is attacked.

Local reserves moves ONE hex towards the nearest battle per Impulse. (This can get a bit confusing as the unit moves all over the map) the amount of remaining movement points decides how far it can move.

What is the difference between local and tactical reserves? What causes each to activate and how far will they travel.

8.2.8. Unit Deployment Orders
(Advanced Rules)
§§ Tactical Reserve – The unit will attempt to
react to enemy attacks into adjacent locations.
Headquarters and artillery units assigned to
Tactical Reserve will not react (but will still
support). This makes this a good deployment
for retaining both artillery mobility and
supportability.
§§ Local Reserve – The unit will attempt to
react to enemy attacks into locations within
a movement radius defined by the unit’s
remaining Movement Allowance. Regardless
of the radius, the reaction movement is only
one hex per combat.
