Endeavor will be made to locate the field pieces and the Infantry will move forward In cover. As they advance surprise targets representing cavalry and mounted Infantry will spring upon flank and front, an nrnioreil train will run out. and all the features of a mod­ ern butthsfield will be represented against the advancing force. This method will cull for great Initiative front commanders, and the targets will be so made that good shooting will be recorded by the targets being knocked over. As an inducement to make Infantry take cover n new device has tieen adopted.
