Fire and Discipline was originally published (in 1988) to cover tactical warfare from 1740-1850. It is now in two versions, one focusing on firepower, the other on discipline. Both versions use the same basing and organization structure. The rules are lengthy because many simple questions are answered with the clarification examples.  Optional rules are included to allow for more realistic and slower play for those who prefer it.  After learning the rules most players will be able to play a friendly game by using only the pullout charts.

SCALES

• One casting equals ten men but up to 13 men in some organizations

• A stand represents an infantry company, firing platoon; a cavalry troop or gun section.
