58 4| than to over extend the front of your army, unless you
59 4| enlarge or compress your front, according to the numbers

72 5| their baggage, set up a front on that side from which
73 5| was secure, and set up a front on the other. This method
74 5| arm lengths. Between the front and rear of these two flanks,
75 5| four should be next to the front of the right flank, and
76 5| which should be next to the front of the left flank, and one
77 5| companies placed on the front of the right flank, and
78 5| the other would be on the front side toward the left wing.
79 5| seventy eight arm lengths in front, I would place all the ordinary
80 5| companies are placed in front, and those that are placed
81 5| the rear should have their front touch the rear of their
82 5| their flanks, and those in front should have their rear touch
83 5| have their rear touch the front (of their flanks), so that
84 5| that the five companies in front protect all the other sides,
85 5| other sides, except the front; and therefore these have
86 5| and) with the pikemen in front. The five companies behind
87 5| of Ten are placed in the front and rear, so that when they
88 5| Whoever places them ahead in front of the Army must do one

90 5| first five companies in the front, the other five on the left
91 5| in the left angle of the front. The first five companies
92 5| you are assaulted on the front side, you do nothing except (
93 5| toward the company in the front, and the three approach
94 5| becomes more straitened in the front, it becomes larger in the
95 5| want them to get behind the front of the Army; and, therefore,
96 5| enemy, so that at once the front of the army becomes the
97 5| the rear, and the rear the front. Then all those methods
98 5| methods of organizing the front should be followed, which
99 5| to strengthen that (new) front which were mentioned above,
100 5| position assigned in this front. There is only this difference,
101 5| indeed true that when a front is made of the right flank,
102 5| said concerning the first front.~What has been said concerning
103 5| said concerning making a front from the right flank, is
104 5| fight according to the first front (planned), and then return
105 5| formation, from that make a front from the rear, and then
106 5| when you want to make a front from the rear or from a
107 5| turn so as to change the front, either from the rear or
108 5| To the rear”, “To the front”. So too, all the other
109 5| taking yourself away from in front of the enemy because you
110 5| himself, either that in front, or the one in the rear,

112 6| the best soldiers in the front and in the rear of the Army,
113 6| side, making the east the front and the west the rear of
114 6| with the Constables in the front at the head and foot (of

116 6| their flanks. From this Front road and opposite to the
117 6| quarters, and next to the Front Road, and would want it
118 6| point, therefore, of the Front Road, and northward, leaving
119 6| the Way of the Plaza, the Front Road, and in addition, a
120 6| around the camp, and in front of it they dug a ditch and
121 7| easily not only from the front, but on the flanks. If the
122 7| you dig ditches (moats) in front of them to make it difficult (
123 7| defend the wall from the front, as it is high, it is not
124 7| reserve great aid behind the front line, than to spread out
125 7| soldiers to make a greater front. He is overcome with difficulty,
