.              REGIMENTAL FORMATIONS
.
Regiments may assume one of four basic formations:
.
LINE - This is the standard fighting formation.
The men line up shoulder-to-shoulder in two ranks. This
formation combines maximum firepower with staying power.
.
COLUMN - This formation is used for fast movement
from one part of the battlefield to another. The
men line up single file for marching.  A Column
moves at twice the speed of a Line, but sustains
more casualties and has little firepower.
.
SKIRMISH - This formation is used to harrass the
enemy.  The men form in a single spread-out line.
This formation allows maximum firepower, moves 
faster, and sustains fewer casualties than a Line;
but is easily dislodged or routed if attacked.
.
ROUT - this is an involuntary formation assumed
by units which have be routed in battle.  Routed units
will not fire or melee. After sufficient time to recover,
the unit will rally and assume another formation.
.
Artillery batteries may assume one of two formations:
.
UNLIMBERED - The battery is deployed and ready to fire.
Unlimbered batteries may not move.
.
LIMBERED - The horses are hitched to the caissons and
the drivers are mounted up. Limbered batteries may not fire.
