These troops are responsible for holding the line, equally skilled using their bayonets or firing massed volleys. The 33rd Foot are known as the "Pattern" for their stoic professionalism in battle; they are able to calmly pick targets and fire on them even while skirmishers shots whiz past their ears, artillery shells explode around them and cavalry charges bear down upon them. To guard against such devastating enemy charges they can move from line to square formation.
