So, this is slightly off-topic, but I thought some of you may find it interesting, and it does have relevance as far as tactics in AoFI are concerned (not to mention a bit of inspiration!). Here is a video depicting a French Regiment of 1707, by some reenactors in Spain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72EaVvk8P7c&feature=related

One nice firing drill that they demonstrate is the technique of "fire and advance" - a way to advance upon an enemy while keeping up a steady rate of fire. These kinds of tactics would be wonderful to do if ever we get enough players to have large enough battles that tactics are both relevant and feasible.

And, on an off-topic note: If only this mod were set just 50 years or so earlier - just look at those French uniforms!  :o
