Skirmishers cover the main allied army and sow confusion in enemy ranks while protecting allied flanks. Their standard equipment includes a Baker Rifle, sword, shirts, jackets, boots, trousers, gloves and socks. Formations used include blobs to fight cavalry, triangles for cavalry and infantry, lines for training, columns for parades, single columns for marching, and skirmish lines with alternating lines firing and advancing. If an officer is killed, the next highest ranking officer should be reported to. Recruits should attend training, get to know others, share ideas, obey officers and earn honors like the cookie medal.
