Ancient Roman military maneuvers maniples (Manipulum)

As promised here are the Draft Standard signals copied from the Advanced tactics section of LM (which is back up)

Signals with the Standard: (Draft)(Proposed)(Tentative)

In General the Standard will repeat some of the critical commands of the Centurio.

Some Standard Signals will have corresponding hand and arm signals and Cornu Calls. The "Attention to Orders" standard signal accompanies other verbal and Cornu commands which allows the troops to see that the Cornu call or verbal order is indeed for their unit.

Attention to Orders: Standard is Raised and Lowered

Forward March: Standard is moved in the direction of march.

Charge: Standard is raised and lowered rapidly until the last rank forward of the standard is in motion

Facing movements; Standard is turned in the direction of the movement.

Halt: From the march Standard is Raised and Lowered

Rally: Standard is faced towards the enemy and orbited at the top.

Recall: Standard is faced away from the Century and orbited at the top.
