Siege is a game for all of you strategy freaks out there.  It involves
either attacking or defending a castle.   To command a group simply 
click on any member of that group and go to ORDERS and select what you want
them to do.

The Keyboard equivialents for orders are as follows:

1 = Fire at Will               6 = Escort
2 = Extended Patrol            7 = Release 
3 = Reinforce                  8 = Split
4 = Relieve                    9 = Double Time
5 = Replace                    0 = Full Retreat


Battle Field Views

F1 = Local View - Individual Groups of Soldiers

F2 = Area View - Red and Blue Blocks

F3 = Castle View - Red and Blue Points


When you first start the game, it is paused, so that you can give your first 
set of orders.  In order to scroll around the battle field, hold down the
right mouse button and drag the cursor to the edge of the screen in the 
direction that you want to scroll.

This is basically what the local view screen looks like:

Time status indicates whether the game is paused or in normal combat mode,
when in normal combat mode a clock will be there and tell you what time it 
is.
