Note 64 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY.
Walter Krueger translation
At 1000 m., the projectile of rifle model ’98 falls 5 cm. for each meter of the range, and at 1200 m. it falls 6 cm. per meter of the range, so that the second and third platoons of a company in column of platoons (7.2 m. distance between platoons) would offer a target having a vulnerable surface 35 cm. high (1⁄5 the height of a man), at 1000 m., 42 cm. high (1⁄4 the height of a man) at 1200 m.
