  20. A Battalia in Column of Divisions A Division consists of an Officer and a Sergeant with 4 files wide by approximately 4 ranks (about 18 men in total) A Battalia can consist of a number of Regiments

  21. March to the Battlefield. • The Army marches in Column of Divisions. • On arrival the Tertiasform Battalia to face the enemy, forming up in a straight line. • As each Battalia reaches their position they form Horn Battalle with Colours and Drums taking centre front position. • When in position the drums will silence.

  23. Drums • The Drum Majors for that day will make their way to the Lord General to await their commands. • The LG orders the Drum Majors to beat the PREPARATIVE. • The collective Army Drum Corps will respond with the PREPARATIVE • The Drum Majors beat MAKE READY. • The collective Royalist Drums Corps respond: MAKE READY. • And the Officers repeat the order for the Musketeers to MAKE READY.

  24. March On. • The LG will command the next preparative of the Drum Majors, to be repeated by the Collective Drums prior to giving the Drums Majors the order to MARCH ON. • The Drum Majors will then beat 4 beats then begin the Royalist March. • The entire Royalist Drums will take up the Royalist March as the Army Marches on. • At this stage alternate Battalions step off to give the chequerboard formation for the Army.

  25. Stand and Fire • The LG orders the Drum Majors to beat the STAND. • This is repeated by the Collective Drums and Officers, and the Army halts in a chequerboard formation of two lines of Battalions • The FORWARD Battalions will give fire and re-load. • The REAR Battalions will march through between the Forward Battalions with the Drum Corps playing the Royalist March. • The REAR Battalions will position themselves in advance of the FORWARD Battalions maintaining the chequerboard and then give fire and re-load. • The FORWARD Battalions will move up to REAR Battalions to create a single line of whole Army

  26. CHARGE! • DRUMS and COLOURS retire • All the Musket Divisions give a final Grand, coordinated Army Volley. • As Muskets fire the volley, the Pike Divisions go to the Charge • The Royalist Army Drums will play the CHARGE. • The Army advances as one cohesive body to engage the enemy • Drum Majors retire to their individual regiments. • The Battle script takes over.
