Basic Rules.
-Officers and NCOs are responsible for enforcing the event rules within their ranks. Failure to do so will result in the entire regiment being punished.
-Don't officer aim if you can avoid it. It is frowned upon for skirmishers and light infantry
to do so but not forbidden. (It's historical, it happened. There is a chain of command for a reason.)
-All regiments must agree that they understand and intend to follow the event rules before they are allowed to attend.
-Violation of any written event rule will result in an automatic slay. This is your warning.
-If either side has 3 soldiers or less alive, the rules governing combat may be ignored in order to expedite an end to the round.
-Postponing defeat will result in an automatic slay.
Line infantry.
-Lines of more than 8 musket armed soldiers must fight in two ranks
-If less than 4 men must join another line if possible.
-No crouching whilst firing unless in a double rank or behind a wall.
-If an Infantry regiment splits into two separate lines during battle, both lines must fight in two ranks regardless of numbers.
-If only 2 men remain in a line, they must immediately join a friendly line OR charge directly toward their enemy into melee
-Infantry should have less than 1 space between them if in two ranks, and no space between them if in one rank
-Anyone who fires out of formation and scores a kill may be immediately slain, and then slain again at the start of the following round
-Soldiers should only fire their muskets while in a properly spaced line formation (skirmishers must use a skirmish line)
Cavalry & Dragoons.
-Cavalry units may never exceed 13 soldiers (one officer and one musician do not count toward this total
-Cavalry may fire muskets from horseback, but must be in a line as with Infantry.
-Unhorsed/dismounted Cavalry are considered Light Infantry..
-Cavalry must stay together and fight as a cohesive group. Lone cavalry who are fighting far from the rest of their unit may be slain for ramboing.
Light Infantry & Skirmishers.
-Skirmisher units may never exceed 13 armed soldiers (one officer and musician do not count toward this total unless they pickup a rifle/musket).
-When below 4 men must join an allied line.
-Skirmishers (riflemen or light infantry) may crouch at any time, but Infantry may only crouch if they are out of combat, or in the front of a two rank line (even behind cover, earthworks, sandbags, etc.)
-Light Infantry may have 3 spaces between them
-Riflemen may have up to 5 spaces between them
Artillery.
-Each faction's artillery detachment may contain 9 total members, including the artillery crew and guard.
-Only 2 cannons are allowed.
-Artillery Bodyguards may kneel and fire as long as they are within 5 paces of an active cannon.
-If only artillery units are alive at the end of a battle, both sides must charge.
