Specific rulesLine Infantry
Spoiler
Naval units that double as artillery can be used as a line infantry regiment
Units need to have an officer playing as the officer class
Sergeants should be limited to members of appropriate rank/a percentage of numbers
Units make take a Medic and a Quartermaster
Lines should start with no fewer than 8 players
If a line drops to 2-3 players, and isn't in combat, they should try and find a friendly group to tag along with
Kneeling is encouraged, if you stand still you'll probably get shot
Spacing should be reasonable, use your own judgement, or 2-3 man spacing if you have no judgement
Firing in charge is allowed
Reloading in charge is not allowed
Charging is counted as running towards an enemy line from a reasonable distance (20m - 30m sounds good) with intention to engage
Firing and reloading in melee is discouraged/not allowed
Lines should stay close to their commander, not spread out like the plague
Cavalry
Spoiler
A minimum of 10 players is required for cavalry
Cavalry should have no more than 25 players
Cavalry can fire on the charge
Cavalry do not have to dismount to reload (but it might be useful for cover)
Faster cavalry units are better at closing distances, but are weaker in combat
Cavalry should co-ordinate with their team, so they work more as a flanking/hit-and-run unit, this allows them to last longer
Officer's and sergeants use the same rules as line infantry (amount, firing, melee etc)
If a cavalry member looses their horse in charge/melee they can use their carbine to fire at the enemy
Specials
Spoiler
Artillery will bring two cannons of choice
Special artillery units (such as rockets and Gatling guns) count as one cannon from the cannon limit
Artillery will use their provided guard unit
Artillery should have a minimum of 10 players in total, including 1-2 sapper/s, 1 quartermaster, 1 medic
Non-combatants should be attached to a regiment at all times
Marine and naval infantry units count as line infantry units, and shouldn't need to be reserved/signed up for
General's staff counts as a cavalry regiment, unless your is set up in a similar way to the Union Army (NaS)
Officer's and sergeants use the same rules as line infantry (amount, firing, melee etc)
