How Does Card Sequencing Work?
In small games (a few units each side), draw cards by unit.
E.G.
Draw a Black Card and give it to the Prussian CinC to decide which one unit gets it.
If the next card is also Black, a different Prussian unit gets it.
If the next card is Red, the Austrian CinC decides which one unit gets it.

In larger and very large games, it is useful for faster turn processing to give cards to a Brigade, Wing or even an entire Army. Hence that first Black Card above could be given to a Brigade, Wing or Army to use. Reason? Cards per unit will take an enormous amount of time. This would be a huge negative for many reasons. Slow turns ruin games.

Every unit will have opportunities to move and fire by turn. Card activation does not demand that units or players sit idle. Reasons: Players want to move units and throw dice.
