Soldiers have fought, died, and lived through many battles in the ages. Thi guide is made for the common soldier who is serving in the ranks. This information will teach soldiers how to act, how to follow order, etc.

A good soldier is respectful, clean shaven, strong in chivalry, respects officers and themselfs.

A good soldier does not complain, make rude gestures, sleeps on sentry, plunders or pillages unless they have orders to.

On my right/ left: Soldiers line up on the side of which they are told to line up on and await orders.

Right face: Soldiers turn to their right 90 degrees

Left face: Soldiers turn to their left 90 degrees.

About face: Soldier turn completly around while still staying in line.

Present: Soldiers take aim at the enemy with their muskets.

Fire: Soldiers fire at once when the order was given. ( Afeter they have fired they reload and wait for next order.)

At ease: Soldiers lower weapons or dont have to take commands as serious.

On me: Soldiers line up in a single file line behind the commander. ( Lines can also be of twos threes and fours.)

Wheel left: Soldiers from the line move up to the soldiers right side and form a new line there. ( Yes the sides are the opisites, i dont know why they just are )

Wheel right: Soldiers make a new line on the left of the commanding officer.

Dismissed: Soldiers can do what they please and are not on duty, but must come to the officer when he calls again if he needs to.

Ripple fire from the right: Soldiers fire theire muskets from right to left.

Ripple fire from the left: Soldiers fire their muskets from left to right.

Hold the line: Soldiers stay in line dont retreat!

Hold: Soldiers stop marching.
