Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

===Orders and the Laurels of Command===
When using the Laurels of Command you need to be aware that some orders are better than others, and since rolling a 4+ is no guarantee you should have a priority cycle: <u><b>"FR,F!SR,F!" -> "Take Aim!" -> "Bring it Down!"</b></u>; with FftE or GBitF at the beginning as necessary. Some Doctrines add details to this cycle but don't plan on ''reliably'' rolling four consecutive 4+s. The cycle modifications are summarised as such:

*{{W40Kkeyword|Armageddon}} units may begin the cycle ''after'' being ordered to '''"Mount up"'''.
*{{W40Kkeyword|Cadia}} has a better '''"Take Aim!"''', but '''"FRFSRF"''' is still more powerful than even full to-hit rerolls, so all regiments should order it first.
*{{W40Kkeyword|Catachan}}s '''"Fix Bayonets"''' better, and have Straken. They may also '''"Burn them Out"''' of cover first and then begin the cycle if the Laurels activate, without using '''"Take Aim"''' if Harker is nearby.
*{{W40Kkeyword|Militarum Tempestus}} might ''need'' to '''"Get Back in the Fight"''' more often than others, due to their shorter ranged weapons. Only against vehicles and monsters is '''"Elimination Protocol Sanctioned"''' better than '''"FRFSRF"'''...but they have enough melta and plasma that '''"Take Aim"''' goes before '''"FRFSRF"''' when they supercharge. Otherwise, follow the cycle when trying to proc {{W40Kkeyword|Storm Troopers}}. Again, you're already lucky if the Laurels activate in the first place.
*{{W40Kkeyword|Mordian}}s may '''Form Firing squad'''s before entering the cycle.
*{{W40Kkeyword|Valhalla}} should fall back and '''"Get Back in the Fight"''' instead of jumping to '''"Fire on my Command"'''...unless they're supporting a unit that cannot do so, like Bullgryn or Rough Riders. Order '''"Fire on my Command"''', and then they may want to '''"Take Aim"''' before the rest of the cycle, to minimize friendly fire. Or "rough-house playing", as they call it.
*{{W40Kkeyword|Vostroya}} has a similar reason to Valhalla to '''"Repel the Enemy"''' instead of '''"Get Back in the Fight"'''. '''"Repel the Enemy"''' before '''"FRFSRF"''' to shoot four times in combat. Vets with Shotguns have a better reason to Repel instead of GBitF, though they won't FRFSRF.
*The {{W40Kkeyword|Tallarn}} Doctrine is essentially FftE always turned on.
*{{W40Kkeyword|Death Korps of Krieg}} caught in melee wouldn't fall back because of their better WS: turn your Lasguns into pistols with '''"Without Mercy"''', but then go directly to '''"Fix Bayonets"'''. {{W40Kkeyword|Death Riders}} should instead '''"Fix Bayonets"''' and then '''"Duty onto Death"'''.
