When charging, all order tends to break down. This rule may also change from event to event, but generally it is not allowed. If you can’t see a banner, then check for the color of their uniform Blue for Union, and Grey for Confederacy.įinally, take care not to reload when outside of a line. If you are unsure if those in the distance are friendlies or enemies, look for a banner above their heads. In this picture, for example, there is one enemy at 345, one to the left at 340, and one to the right at the 20. These will help you identify enemies far in the distance. North is 0 and 360, So East is 90, South is 180, and West is 270. Your compass is located at the top center of your screen. These are compass references, and based on degrees in a circle. When firing, you may hear numbers rattled out such as “Enemies at 220”, “Arty at the 50”, and so on. When they fire at will, you fire at will. When they fire a volley, you fire a volley. If they are not using in-game voice chat, just try to mimic them as best you can. While in a line, take care not to fire without the officer’s command. But wait until you have finished reloading, otherwise you might not have a shot ready. If one of your fellow soldiers dies, make sure to fill in the gap to keep the line compact. This is how you transform the column into a line, just like how you see in reenactments or total war. Once you make contact with the enemy, your officer will likely curve your line 90 degrees, order halt, and then right or left face. So make sure to use the SHIFT key to sprint if you fall too far behind, or just start tapping the W key instead of holding it down to slowly fall back if you’re too close to the man ahead of you. Keeping the line straight and orderly is more important than your specific position in it, unless you’re an officer. While you’re in a column or line, try to make sure you have 1-man spacing. To do this, you simply line up single-file behind your commanding officer, as such: When not engaged in combat, your line should be moving around as a column, instead of a line. If it’s just you, or just you and one other guy, try to find a different line to merge into instead.
You can only move out as an independent line if you have 3 or more people. If you’re still struggling to find your line, remember to use VOIP and ask around. If you’re apart of a regiment, they will have specific tags in their names and flags above their heads. Stay calm and just try to find where your commander will want you to meet up during the next round. If you spawn in when the round is not “live”, everyone will probably be teamkilling each other. When in doubt: take the Springfield Model 1861. Some weapons are not allowed for Line Infantry, such as the Mississippi Rifle. This is also when you should pick your specific weapon, if you have a preference. Your commander should pick what specific regiment and company you go as. Unless specified to be Artillery, Skirmishers, or Cavalry you’re Line Infantry. Once you have been assigned, select your given team. If you join an event without a clan, you will likely be assigned at the very end. The admins will then begin assigning each clan one at a time to keep the game balanced. Once everyone is assigned to spectator, make sure to stay as a spectator. Unless the event has already started, choose any team and unit, and just have fun until the admins switch everyone to spectator.
