Parade Drill
Every Guardsman needs to know his or her parade drill, running regular drills will help guardsmen become better at their duty.
==============
A Parade Drill MUST have atleast 4 Guardsmen present.
1. Basic Parade
- When the order "Sound off" is called, each Guardsman will state their name and rank, starting from the right of the line from the commanding guardsmans perspective.
- When the order "Number off" is called each Guardsman will count from One onwards in ascending order, starting from the right of the line from the commanding guardsmans perspective.
- When told to arm Parade Arms, each guardsman in the line-up must arm the standard Covian Parade arm, a Halberd in iron hue.
- When the order "Ready arms" is given, each guardsman must ready their weapon for battle (Go into UO 'War Mode')
- When the order "Parade, Turn Left" is given each guardsman must turn 90 degree's to his/her left (Face left in UO)
- When the order "Parade, Turn Right" is given each guardsman must turn 90 degree's to his/her right (Face right in UO)
- When the order "Parade, About face" is given each guardsman must turn 180 degree's to face the opposite direction (Turn around in UO)
- When the order "Parade, Face front" is given each guardsman must turn to face the guardsman in command
- When the order "Parade, Salute" is given each guardsman must Salute the way in which they are facing. (Emote *Salutes* and use the Salute action)
- When the order "Parade, At ease" is given each guardsman stand easy by emoting *Stands at Ease* or *Stands Easy*, (or simply go into UO Peace mode if in UO War mode).
- When the order "Parade, Hold arms" is given each guardsman must disarm their parade weapon.
- You may want to expand on these basic orders to make it look more professional, or even just to show off by extending the orders like so:
Parade, Turning to the Left, to the left, Turn! = "Parade, Turn Left" Parade, Turning to the Right, to the right, Turn! = "Parade, Turn Right" Parade, Turning about, About face! = "Parade, About face" Parade, Turning to the front, Face front! = "Parade, Face front" Parade, Saluting to the front, to the front, Salute! = "Parade, Salute"
These are entirely optional, but recomended
2. Battle Gear
- When the order "Battle gear on!" is called, each guardsman will put on their helmet and arm their primary weapon.
- When the order "Dress uniform on!" is called, each guardsman will put on their head dress (Covian cap or bandana) and disarm any weapons they may be holding, unless told to do otherwise.
3. Battle Drill
Box Formation - When the order "Form!", "Form up!" or "Formation!" are called, guardsmen must rush to cover the guardsman in command, this is done by covering all sides (if possible).
- When there arent enough men to cover every UO tile around the commanding guardsman, they must cover the front, to the left/right, and to the rear of the guardsman in command, in that order.
- When the sides are covered, guardsmen fill in the corner gaps of the formation using the same order as before (Front left/right, Rear left right, ect.)
Targeting - To get a group to target a specific enemy, for example a troll, the commanding guardsman will yell "Target Troll!", when that order it called, each member of the group must attempt to attack the target by double clicking on the target while in war mode, and if possible, display their HP bar. (Emphasise that the target called by the Commanding guardsman is the primary target and shouldnt change unless told otherwise or absolutely necisary)
- When the order "Charge!" is called, guardsmen must charge the specified target, if no target was specified beforehand, the guardsman in command will yell "Charge Troll!" for example, and then guardsmen will attack the target. (Emphasise the importance of charging a target when told to)
- If only a specific group are to charge, for example the Dragoons, the guardsman in command will yell "Dragoons, Charge!", when that happens, anyone who is a dragoon will charge the specified target as explained before.
- If you arent part of the selected group when a group charge is called, then you must remain where you are, or in close proximity to the commanding guardsman, DO NOT RUN OFF, Highlight this point when explaining it.
===========
A parade drill can be lead by Any Guardsman above the rank of Recruit and a Report of the drill must follow.
