Hi Bernard! Why do the redcoats have to “aim low” when the enemy approaches? Did the green jackets have to do so as well? Is it the way that the musket ball flies?

It seems ironic to me that a revolutionary society like France during the early 19th century would hold so conservatively to the column formation when fighting England. You describe a variant column/line manuever that they tried in one of your books. Did they ever win a battle against England by using the column? Did they just use the column because of their conscript army?
Thanks. Your books have added hundreds of hours of happiness to my life. James
