peer agreement (net): +1[of all] lines of defence Explanation: The concept of four lines of defence has its origin in military strategy. The idea is to thwart attack by setting up a series of staggered lines of defence. If the enemy manages to breach the first line, they’ll only find more obstacles in their way to prevent them from getting any further. The subsequent lines of defence are all the more effective if each has its own means to fall back on. With the advent of heavy gunpowder artillery in the early modern era, the defences of cities and fortifications all over Europe were progressively enhanced with the addition of various lines of defence including moats, ramparts, covered wall walks, citadels and other structures designed to make the forward area deep enough to effectively defend against artillery attack. http://disclose.pwc.ch/21/en/article-focus--02/ Боевой порядок цезаревского легиона состоял из трех линий (4 когорты в первой линии и по 3 во второй и третьей). Вторая линия была линией поддержки, третья играла роль резерва, который использовался для маневра против фронта или фланга противника или для отражения его удара. ... По свидетельству Цезаря, в этой битве в распоряжении Помпея было 45 тысяч человек пехоты и 7 тысяч кавалерии. В армии же Цезаря насчитывалось (по тем же данным) 22 тысячи пехотинцев и тысяча кавалеристов.[18] Глубина всех линий когорт Помпея составляла 30 человек (глубина каждой линии 10 человек). ... Боевой порядок армии Цезаря также состоял из трех линий. ... Насчет того, что Помпей нанесет главный удар именно в этом месте, Цезарь совершенно не сомневался. Поэтому из третьей линии он взял 6 когорт (3 тысячи человек) и поставил их в качестве дополнительного резерва на этом же правом фланге своего боевого порядка. http://militera.lib.ru/bio/karnatsevich_vl01/karnatsevich_vl... |
