    Side step when in double line

    It is something that is really needed. With the system forcing people to stand in line. And people wanting to do double line because of it. People have to aim between the heads of people, sure the 2nd line could do a stacked line formation positioning themselfs in between behind 2 of his comarades. But why not, when aiming and standing still with Q you do with the left leg a step to the left. and with E a step to the right. So people can do a proper double line, without aiming weirdly or shooting your comarades in front of you.

    No need for a left step.
    First of all it don't solve the issue and 2nd because the stepping was done on the right foot.

    So I fully agree that this should be added.

    Right step, (even left step,) are already in game.

    Use the 'S', 'D' Keys.

    It's simple and easy enough to do.

    Commanders just need to work it into their training.

    yes we do it that way but would be great if it could be done by a key press to "lean" a bit to the right. With "leaning" I mean that the players char does not move his right foot directly behind his left but a bit to the right so he moves while aiming a bit to the right (how it was done if I understand Caseys right) and is able to shoot through the gap between the two guys in front of him. If he releases the button or whatever he moves back directly behind the guy in front of him.

    Hear hear!

    When leading a line (like for me yesterday during drill) for about 40 men per rank. where not all are in the unit (no disrespect for random people joining please do it) It is verry hard to get such a large 2nd rank to move just a tiny bit every time we want to fire. The leaning to the right is simply something that adds even more function to the game, and more historicall accuracy. There is a video of a different game that has this. And it is just amazing if it would be posible in War of Rights. and if units just want to move their 2nd rank rather then using the E key (as example) to lean/one foot to the right it is up to them. But it would be great to have this option.

    Indeed it is only to the right historicly seen would be happy with only this option. To the left I would not mind to have either

    The left foot moves when firing at the right oblique.

    I agree with Valk, though I'm slightly biased

    For real though, trying to tell people in a 40 man line to adjust to their right without them being able to take that step like a normal human being is a pain in the ass and frankly, making them turn, walk, turn is just messing up everyone's head.
    We really need to be able to step to the side, dunno how people could be against something so simple yet important.
