They add 1-2 cards (from the same suit as supported troops) to supported Player's Flank.
Both fighting armies have only two Flanks, so only up to two supporters per side is possible.
(NB! It is good strategy for both sides to choose for fighting the suit, wich is presented inside the armies of other Players, so they can support you.)

Every (unopened) card on first line opened. (Front side turned up.)
Frontal clash happened. Each weaker card removed from game.
If Flank troops don't haved enemy in front of them, they are safe and support charge diagonally to Center.
After first line casualties are removed, the second line may fill holes or troops from Reserves may be sent to empty Center or Flanks.
If Centre is occupied by troops from both sides, the next Battle round occurs.

5.3. End of Battle.
Battle ends, if Centre is not occupied by troops from both sides or there is unbreakable tie in Battlefield.
