A Lance formation consists of two or more models arranged edge-to-edge in base contact. All models in the unit must face the same direction and must be arranged in a formation that consists of one or more horizontal rows, called ranks. The front rank of the unit contains one model, the second rank contains two models, the third contains three, and so on, as shown in Fig 110.1.

Lance Facings

The front, flank and rear arcs of a unit in Lance formation are determined by the models in the second rank and the last rank, as shown in the diagram.

Command Group Models

Command group models are placed at the front of the unit, in the first and second rank, as shown in Fig 110.1. The standard bearer should take precedence at the front of the unit.
