Rule 18: Infantry Fire

A non-skirmishing infantry unit that has not expended more than half its movement allowance may fire its weapons. Skirmishers may move a full turn and fire.

C. Modifiers to the Die Roll.

2. If the target is a column or square, or in battalion mass . . .

5. If the firing battalion is British Or K.G.L: +1.

E. Skirmishers. Skirmishers may make a half move without affecting their fire. If they move the full turn, they fire as if the range step were one range greater than it really is.

F. Over Head Fire. Due to the inaccuracy of the weapons of the era, infantry may not fire over their own units.
