Manual of Arms
This Manual will teach you everything needed to be a successful soldier in the Brunswick Army.
Terms
• Terms are how you talk whilst On-Duty. Maturity is required at all times. When speaking to someone of the rank of Musketier to Haupt-Feldwebel, you will address them by their rank. For example; "Ja, Feldwebel."
• There are also specific terms needed to be learned for combat:
-Herr (Sir)
-Ja (Yes)
-Nein (No)

- Into Line: Once into Two Ranks, the back rank will take a pace to the left. Standing behind and in between that of the arms of the first rank.
