In the kickstarter movie we hear a number of orders... most of them are not correct.
We hear a reb officer saying: "Firing by volley. Ready. fire" (2:26)
First of all that order do not exist.
It is "Fire by (battalion/wing/rank/company/file)"
All of them save the last will be some sort of a volley.
Then the orders are "ready, Aim, Fire"...
A bit later we see the union fire and the officer yells "reload.
This is just some idea that reenactors and Hollywood have and is not correct. The correct order is LOAD.
"company on me"
Again not a period order. it makes a lot of sense today... with a squad of 8-13? men in open order...
But it do not make sense with a 40man company trying to stay in line.
I realize that this is still very early in the development... but I would like some confirmation that the plan is to get the correct orders in the game...
