3) Lunging with
musket muzzles is prohibited.

5) Sabers should be used with sheaths at close
quarters.
B. Rear rank soldiers must keep
the first and second bands of their muskets aligned with the

individnal units. Taklng of Colors will not be done unless agreed
upon prior to battle. Units desiring such a portmyal must agree
and overall Union and Confederate Commanders must be made aware
and agree to such actions.
SAFETY IS EVERY PARTICIPANTS RESPONSIBILITY! While units
officers and NCO's are held responsible for the actions of their
unit members, it still remains that EVERY UNIT MEMBER IS A
RESPONSIBLE ADULT!
It takes two mistakes to make an accident. Someone doing
something they shouldn't and someone not paying attention.
