Plastik - Schießen aus der zweiten Reihe?

<< < (2/2)

Bommel:
ich mache es mit dem perry briten genauso. ist ansonsten ein riesiges Problem mit den Basen.
bei meinen Figuren splittert und verbiegt sich jedoch nichts.

vodnik:
...sicher kann man Schützen aus der zweiten Reihe schiessend darstellen, sieht einfach ein Bisschen sonderbar aus, wenn vorne Leute \'rumstehen + die hinteren an ihnen vorbei den Gegner beschiessen. Wenn aus 2 Reuhen geschossen wurde, kniete Reihe 1. Je nach Zeitepoche gab\'s bis zu 7 Mann in einer Reihe; 5 Mann waren am Nachladen, einer stand bereit, bis der 7te gefeuert hat, um seine Position einzunehmen...

Doc Phobos:
Nun, scheinbar war in der Napoleonischen Zeit der taktische Vorteil einer knienden ersten Reihe auch heiß diskutiert und wurde mit der Zeit nur für die Kämpfe gegen Kavallerie verwendet. Ich zitiere mal aus einer netten Seite:


--- Zitat ---1st, 2nd and 3rd Rank During the Firefight.
Most experts considered kneeling 1st rank good only
for the infantry formed in square against cavalry.

Napoleonic infantry was formed on 3 ranks. A 600-men strong battalion had 200 men in the first, 200 in second and 200 men in the third rank. The first two ranks loaded and fired, while - theoretically - the 3rd rank had to load their muskets and then give them to those in 2nd rank.

In reality it was very difficult to keep them doing this under fire. They would become excited once the battle commenced and would blaze away through the first two ranks. Passing the barrels of their muskets over the shoulders of 2nd rank, the muzzles were very near the ears and heads of the first rank. The loud discharge, heat and powder so close to ears, head and eyes were quite disturbing for the first rank. Sometimes fingers and elbows were shot away, and if the bursting percussion caps were too close to the ears of 2nd and 1st rankers their eardrums could be damaged.

Gouvion St. Cyr claimed that 1 in 4 casualties were inflicted by own 3rd rank. For these reasons they not suppose to fire.
The Russian recruits were trained to fire by two ranks. The first and second rank fired their first shots, file-by-file and then loaded and fired as quickly as possible. Each man in the 2nd rank, having fired his musket, passed it to the man in the 3rd rank standing behind it, took his musket, fired, loaded it, fired again and then returned it to the man in the 3rd rank and took his own musket from him, and so on. Men in the 3rd rank did not fire at all. They only loaded muskets and passed them on to the second rank. This method was borrowed from the French and often caused confusion.

Theoretically the men of 1st rank would be kneeling and firing - it gave more space for those standing in the 2nd rank. Some veterans (for example Tanski) declared that they never saw among the French troops kneeling and firing soldiers as was prescribed by instructions. If they were kneeling and firing it was difficult to get them stand up and advance. Kneeling soldier presented a much smaller target for the enemy and he wanted to keep this advantage as long as he could.
Kneeling by the 1st rank when firing was abolished in the Austrian infantry already before the 1809 campaign.
By this time kneeling in the Russian infantry as considered as idiocy.

Most experts considered kneeling 1st rank good only for the infantry formed in square against cavalry.
