I know the Swedish firing line won't be in the first wave of figures, but I would just like to push this idea around a bit.
Is there such a thing as an 'active' firing line? By which I mean figures not just standing still and giving fire or loading, but more like figures firing under pressure. ie crouching, leaning forward etc.
IMHO this would combine beautifully with say pikemen/command ready to charge after the last point blank volley, and really convey the sense of agressivenes that was so typical for Swedish units.
I've already read the - sensible- comments that the Swedish hardly fired any volleys, but the ones they did fire- at a very short distance- was certainly an essential part of the whole tactic?
They would also be very appropiate for skirmish games I think.
Your thoughts gentlemen?
