Gentlemen,
May I present two more articles for your attention on WDS tactics, extending the Napoleonic series published in 2023–2024.
These two fill the remaining gap on infantry, focusing on musket mechanics, which is rather technical, and on melee, which is more engaging, I think, as it also covers non-technical aspects.
