Update

A rule has been modified/added, please read if you don't want to break rules.

KEY:  Rule unmodified = Blue | Rule added = Green

27. a. Melee is where the bayonet or sword from a player strikes a player on the opposing team or the weapon of a player on the opposing team.
Once any two players from opposing regiments are engaged in melee, all other players in the match MUST cease firing and join in the melee.

b. As per line spacing rules, the line cannot be split up to stall their opponent while the rest of their line forms up, preparing to shoot.

c. A regiment may reform a line and shoot AFTER waiting 5 seconds after fully formed up as long as they have at least 3 players alive and ALL players are in line and out of melee.
   i. If a player gets cut off in melee and dies, the formed up regiment must wait 5 seconds before shooting.
   ii. If a single player is not in the line during the shooting or fires BEFORE waiting 5 seconds, the shooters will be slayed as a Fire out of line or the round will not count if the final player(s) of the losing nation is killed.

Why has this been added

This has started becoming the meta for a lot of regiments, notably used in the 42nd vs LG NAGL match. It hasn't been really explicitly stated in any rule books, but I do get questioned about whether it is allowed or not.

[close]

Wolf has been promoted to a regular referee.

This isn't a "meta" in most regiments. The reason why it is used a lot because you cannot counter a regiment like the LG, 1er, and 40th. Without outleading them. That is the diversity in a style. It isn't to the fault of the regiment opposing the enemy when they get outlead because they just don't know to lead. You are trying to take a counter, and in some cases the only counter to a regiment out in 1v1 leading which is absurd, and I feel it is highly biased toward a regiment like the LG which will only make it easier for them to run for melee(Like, never said the LG for those who will start tweaking). The reason why regiments wing their lines or break their backs away from a enemy line is to bait the enemy line. It is entirely to the fault of the enemy line for not being able to counter such a tactic, and the only reason people don't like it is because it requires more logistical thinking in 1v1 leading, where running for melee with your fat melee stack requires little to no effort, and completely relies on a melee ability rather then 1v1 leading ability. Its what separates a 1v1 from a groupfight, and all I see rule 27 C. doing is ruining a incremental part in 1v1 leading. Its like a Basketball team being told you have great shooters from the three point line? well this is a new rule to counter your good shooting. We are gonna take out the three point line.
