Military / Defense | | English term or phrase: Close! | E' un ordine impartito da un generale agli arcieri. Verrebbe da scrivere "Fuoco!" se non fosse che in epoca romana le armi da fuoco non c'erano ancora.
Qual è il comando che si userebbe in queste circostanze? |
| | | tirate! | Explanation:
Una freccia in genere la si "scocca" ma non suonerebbe tanto bene scrivere "scoccate", anche perché c'è troppa assonanza con "sciocchini"!!

Ciao, è sicuramente un altro modo valido per dirlo e ho modificato la voce nel glossario (grazie comunque per la scelta)! |

| close! fatevi sotto!
Explanation:
fatevi avanti
close with the enemy!
When the Carthaginians thought they had drawn off the first and second squadrons far enough from the others, they all, on receiving a signal from Hamilcar's ship, turned simultaneously and attacked their pursuers. The engagement that followed was a very hot one, the superior speed of the Carthaginians enabling them to move round the enemy's flank as well as to approach easily and retire rapidly, while the Romans, relying on their sheet strength when they closed with the enemy, grappling with the ravens every ship as soon as it approached, fighting also, as they were, under the very eyes of both the consuls, who were personally taking part in the combat, had no less high hopes of success. Such then was the state of the battle in this quarter.
Infantry is the primary combat arm of the Australian Army. The role of the Infantry is to seek out and close with the enemy, to kill or capture him, to seize and hold ground, repel attack, by day or by night, regardless of season weather or terrain. To carry out this role the Royal Australian Infantry Corps (RAInf) relies heavily on skilled tactics, effective teamwork and cooperation with other corps.
