Movement Commands

"I have seen shield walls fall apart due to few knowing the basic movement commands. Here is a list of the commands. Please practice them."

Sjt. Odo Uthyr

FOR-WORD---MARCH!
Unit moves forward perpendicular to a line at a walking pace.

AD-VANCE--- MARCH!
Unit moves two(2) half paces forward in unison and resumes ready stance.

WHEEL RIGHT/LEFT---MARCH!
Unit pivots on specified end until contact with enemy or new command is given.

SLIDE RIGHT/LEFT---MARCH!
Unit Moves in formation parallel to and along line until contact or new command.

FALL BACK---MARCH!
Unit moves backward in formation at walking pace until new command.

WITH-DRAW---MARCH!
Unit takes two half paces back and resumes ready stance.

(UNIT NAME)--- CHARGE!!!
Self explanatory, use unit name as preparatory for surprise factor.

RE-VERSE MARCH!
Shields do left face in place, Long weapons move between, shields do left face again, unit has done about face. (pretty tricky, eh)

FORM UP!
