Discipline
• From the Officers Handbook• Officers are in post as line managers of the Society; this
makes them responsible for: – • a. Management of people within the Society • b. Performance of people within the Society, both on and
off the field • c. Safety of people in the Society, both on and off the field • d. The standards of dress of the members, as set by the
chain of command, • e. The attitude of Society members, both on and off the
field
Discipline
• Insults to Camp Guard• Refusal to show cards• Officers are responsible for their men, both on and off
the field• CO’s Responsibility for Temporary Members• The member is responsible for the actions of the
sponsored person and will in the event of misbehaviour be treated as though he/she had misbehaved themselves.
• Nantwich issues - Caroline
Discipline• No one inebriated is to be allowed to take to
the field.• Physical violence on the field• Nantwich ‘battle busses’ • Non Members allowed on the field• Officers role – Duty of Care• Insurance Issues this evokes• Concern over Insurance increases
Rules of Engagement
Rules of Engagement
Changes to Rules of Engagement
• Shot vs Pike• Please note that musket commanders must
NOT attempt to delay attacking pike by firing slowly or attempting to manipulate these rules in order to hold back attacks.
• Shot Units should not use the loading process for tactical advantage against pike or other units.
Changes to Rules of Engagement
• Pike v Pike:• Pike Units may fight at either point or push
depending on their preference and training. Units with a strong preference should indicate to the Brigade Commander and LG their requirement so that this can be taken into account in planning the scenario of the battle to ensure that all members are fully engaged during the re-enactment to the benefit of all.
Rules of Engagement
Planning for Practise
Planning for Practise
• Remember Train Hard, Fight Easy.• Major Musters Only• Practise on the first day at 10.30pm• 2i/c’s of the Tertio to organise• Kelmarsh full dress rehearsal• Army based Drumming practise.

• When to start the years ticking• When presented this was clear as to starting
from the 16th Birthday i.e. the age that personnel can take to the field.
• Many units have taken it to be from birth.• Ultimately this is up to the culture of the
