Line EtiquetteSpoiler
-In order to fire, a unit must be in a line.
-A line must consist of at least 3 players.
-Regiments must run in a formation unless charging.
-Once a charge order has been given, you must charge immediately. No firing your last round, no reloading, no delaying.
-If one person breaks formation and charges into melee, the whole line is considered broken and is now dedicated to melee combat.
-A line captain who is in the process of scouting with his spyglass away from his line is NOT considered a break of formation.
-There is NO firing out of formation, period. The only exception is a line officer and his pistol, who may fire at any time including melee.
-If an Officer picks up a musket, they must fire in a line.
-Officers with a musket become free game to be fired upon.

-Spacing between players within a formation must be 1/2 man spacing.
-Formations must contain at least three players.
-Players MUST fill gaps caused by casualties in between reloading and firing. Regiments that maintain illegal spacing for unreasonable periods will be penalized.
-Do not kneel while in a single ranked formation at anytime. In a double ranked line, the front rank may kneel.
- Refrain from the employment of skirmish tactics involving firing and hiding behind solid cover. (column behind a tree to reload = no no)
