World War 1, and make sure you advance at the walk lads, no running,
everyone stay in line, there's a good chap.
Not that I'm disagreeing with you--*I'm* certainly of the opinion that
a few kilometers is a good range and anything closer is getting a
little too personal.

Once everyone gets up and going, yes, but you may not know whether
Charlie's squad is actually going to come to the party.  But I agree.
Maybe test in succession (first is at 1-2, he makes it, second is at
1-1, he makes it, third is at 2-1, he misses, fourth is also at 2-1)
