This is a thread primarily aimed at assessing the effectiveness of various XVIIIth Century styles of musketry......
After visiting the Great Frederick's grave at Sans Souci and being only recently versed in ALL of His Instructions, I am very interested in any comments veteran posters may have regarding his approach to musketry and bayonet, particularly regarding the amazing transition he seems to have had in between the Silesian Wars (musketry is defensive) vs. the Seven Years War (Musketry is offensive).
Specificallly, the Great Frederick talks of platoon or company volleys at two hundred paces....does anybody have any comments? |
