		The army was arrayed as a whole or two lines of battle, with the infantry in the centre and the ig cairy on the flanks, and an advanced guard; the so-called dr ;erve consisting merely of troops not assigned to the regular st~ mmands.
		Recon- W(tuted on modern lines, the Austrian army in 1813, except in the oti ~her leading, was probably the best-organized on the continent.
		In practice, all armies are permanently tio ~anized on these lines, up to the colonels or lieutenant-colonels wi mmand, and most of them are permanently divided into various an ~her units under general officers, the brigade, division and mf my corps.

		Jupiter in the rusticcult was a sky-god concerned mainly with the wine festivals and associated with the sacred oak on the Capitol.
		As the palace cults became national, the worship of the Genius was bound to spread, and ultimately Augustus sanctioned its celebration ~at the corn pita together with the worship of the old Lares.
		But here he and the wiser of his successors drew the line, and though under oriental influence divine honors were paid to the living emperor outside Italy, they were never permitted officially in Rome.

		Because it was impossible to garrison the entire line to a sufficient density of forces, and having seen through experience the limits of continuity of a defensive line, the German traded rigidity of positions for resilience in planning, and flexibility and fluidity of manoeuvre.
		The offensive battles of the Gothic Line are, unfortunately, little known as Germany for the simple reason that the attention of historians has been drawn to the events of the fighting on the Eastern and Western Fronts.
		The breaktrough of the Yellow Line at Rimini and the failure of the Allies to exploit success there form the culminating moment of the battle for Rimini, in which the 29th Division found itself ranged against the I Canadian Army Corps which had become the diamond point of the offensive itself.

		The Battle of Lake Trasimene (June 24, 217 BC, April on the Julian calendar) was a Roman defeat in the Second Punic War between the Carthaginians under Hannibal and the Romans under the consul Gaius Flaminius.
		Hannibal sent a small skirmish force to draw their van away from the front of the line, allowing the rest of the Roman army time to set up for an assault to the east.
		As soon as they started moving the rest of his force attacked from the forest, against their flank.

		Anyway during the forming of the line use any units already in combat just as a distraction and to hold off the Carthaginians till your line is formed.
		Once the battle line is formed I suggest you simply use your skirmishers and engage any infantry coming your way while your general and his remaining cavalry flank the enemy from the left or right flanks.
		If your line is breaking throw in the Cretan archers and keep the elephants moving their heads up and down to throw enemy units everywhere.

		The New Zealanders were assigned the task of joining the Allied effort to breach the Gustav Line by attacking its eastern margins and traversing the Sangro River with the hope of initiating an advance to Rome.
		With winter deepening, the whole Allied offensive ground to a halt and spirits were low amongst the New Zealanders when they were finally withdrawn from the stalled front line in January 1944 after suffering some 1600 casualties during their first two months of combat in Italy.
		The New Zealanders were back in the line the following month, fighting their way across difficult terrain in a slow advance which brought them to the Savio River by the end of October.

		Considering that they were only used to soften up enemy lines, their inevitable routing might seem like correct behaviour EXCEPT that the enemy gets victory points for (terminally) routing them which could not be justified if the skirmishers were merely doing what they are supposed to do!
		At the time of the Punic wars, the Roman battle lines were no longer rigid phalanxes but rather composed of smaller tactical units, the maniples, which could form a loose double row, allowing for retreating front-line units to pass through, as well as a phalanx-like single row when it was their turn to attack.
		Very well, but first of all executing MLE takes the leader's entire turn, and there are no advantages to the single line formation if you're on the attack: the game system doesn't penalise units that move one hex farther to attack.

		Adrian Goldsworthy (The Fall of Carthage) is skeptical of the explanation that Hannibal had left forces in Gaul to maintain his line of communication with Spain.
		He crossed the Apennines without opposition, but in the marshy lowlands of the Arno he lost a large part of his force through disease and himself became blind in one eye.
		He had now disposed of the only field force which could check his advance upon Rome, but, realizing that without siege engines he could not hope to take the capital, he preferred to exploit his victory by passing into central and southern Italy and exciting a general revolt against the sovereign power.

		The line of this story should be obvious by now.
		The Romans quickly fielded another army, for the heart of Roman strength was in central and southern Italy.
		Fleeing Romans were hamstrung (that is, the pursuer rather than trying to kill the fleeing enemy simply slashed at the man's hamstring muscle, returning later to kill the crippled man).

		By design, this move forced Flaminius' army into open combat, and, as it passed between the northern shore of Lake Trasimene and the opposite hills, Hannibal's troops from their prepared positions all but annihilated it, killing thousands and driving others to drown in the lake.
		While the Gauls and Iberian infantry of Hannibal's centre line yielded (without breaking) before the drive of the numerically superior Roman infantry, the Libyan infantry and cavalry of Hannibal's flanks stood fast, overlapped the Roman line, and in a rear encircling movement turned to pursue the victorious legionaries.

		They were outflanked and cut to pieces, partly because Hannibal had possessed the foresight and artifice to make his cavalrymen lie their horses down among shrubs and bushes in ambush.
		In an attack whose nature presaged the later destruction of a Roman army at the Teutoberger Wald in Germany, where three legions were destroyed in AD 9 by Arminius, Hannibal attacked on three fronts, leaving the hungry waters of the lake the only course of retreat open to the fleeing Roman legionaries.
		The formidable heavy Libyan infantry and remaining cavalry of Hannibal's flanks stood fast and overlapped the advancing Roman line, which was by now more of a tight mass that had been deliberately funnelled together by the press from the sides and by the seeming retreat of the Celts and Spaniards at the front.
