Volley fire ( infantry tactic ) Volley fire , as a military tactic , is the practice of having a line of soldiers all fire their guns simultaneously at the enemy forces on command , usually to make up for inaccuracy , slow rate of fire , and limited range , and to create a maximum effect . History . The history of volley fire dates back before guns to use by archers , at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 , for instance . One example of this is the Mongol Army . Another is the Persian invasion force of King Xerxes , whose arrows were said to block the sun . In the eighteenth century , the British would use volley fire to make up for the inaccuracy and limited range ( 100 yards ) of their musket , the Brown Bess . Armies approached one another in linear formations . British soldiers would fire volleys in the general direction of the enemy , by ranks . The command they were given was to level weapons , rather than to aim . The shooters might be formed in three ranks , with the front rank firing simultaneously , then the second rank , offset , then the third , after which the first rank was ready to fire again . Effective volley fire required practice in swiftly completing the required motions . In the American Civil War volley fire was used quite effectively , since the effective range and rate of fire were greater than in earlier centuries . In modern times . In modern times the use of volley fire is limited , since automatic weapons can devastate massed infantry .

Battle of Metaxas Line The Battle of Metaxas Line , also known as Battle of the Forts ( Greek : Μάχη των Οχυρών ) , or Struggle for the Metaxas Line ( German : Kampf um die Metaxas - Linie ) , was the first battle during the Greek campaign of World War II . The Germans succeeded in breaching the Greek fortified Metaxas Line on the western flank and forced the Greek forces east of the Axios river to surrender after four days of combat ( 6 – 9 April 1941 ) . Prelude . Origins of the campaign . The origins of the battle lie in the Italian invasion of Greece , which took place on 28 October 1940 . The failure of the Italian Army to bring a favourable end to this Greek - Italian war , forced the Germans to intervene , with an operation they dubbed Operation Marita . For the purpose of the invasion of Greece , Germany tried to bring Greece ' s northern neighbours , Bulgaria and Yugoslavia , to the Tripartite Pact alliance . Bulgaria agreed to allow passage of German troops for the attack on Greece , although Bulgarian troops would not participate in combat . Yugoslavia also agreed , but a coup overthrew the Yugoslav government . Although the pact was not denounced , Hitler decided to attack Yugoslavia as well as Greece . The Metaxas Line . The fortification of the area informally known as the Metaxas Line was conceived as a defensive measure against Bulgaria . Bulgaria had refused to sign the Balkan Pact signed by Greece , Yugoslavia , Turkey and Romania in 1934 which aimed at maintaining the geopolitical status quo in the region following World War I . The Metaxas Line was a series of independent forts along the Greek - Bulgarian border , built on possible routes of invasion . Each fort ' s garrisons belonged to the division or brigade which controlled the respective border sector . The fortifications were built with the meagre resources that Greece could muster , and exploited at fullest the terrain . Construction had begun in 1936 ; however , by 1941 the line was still incomplete . Opposing forces . German . The German unit detailed for the invasion of Greece was the 12th Army under Field - Marshal Wilhelm List , with a total of 15 divisions and other elements . Of those the XVIII and XXX Corps were to be used against Metaxas Line : XVIII Mountain Corps ( Lt . Gen . Franz Böhme ) XXX Corps ( Lt . Gen . Otto Hartmann ) Greek and Yugoslav . The Greek units responsible for the Metaxas Line were the East Macedonia Army Section under Lieutenant General Konstantinos Bakopoulos and the independent Evros Brigade under Major General Ioannis Zisis : East Macedonia Army Section ( Lt . Gen . Konstantinos Bakopoulos ) West Thrace Zone of operations ( Mj . Gen Ioannis Zisis ) The Yugoslav force that contributed directly to the defenece of Metaxas Line was the 20th " " Bregalnička " " Infantry Division , part of the 3rd Territorial Army of the Yugoslav army . It confronted the German 2nd " Panzerdivision " , which would attempt to outflank the entire Greek position crossing into Greece from Yugoslav territory .
Silbannacus Mar . Silbannacus is a mysterious figure believed to have been a usurper in the Roman Empire during the time of Philip the Arab ( 244 - 249 ) , or between the fall of Aemilianus and the rise to power of Valerian ( 253 ) . Silbannacus had been known only from a single coin , an antoninianus reputedly found in Lorraine , which is now at the British Museum . This coin has an obverse with the portrait of the usurper and the legend ( " Imperator Mar . Silbannacus Augustus " ) , the reverse shows Mercury holding a Victoria and a " caduceus " , with ( " Augusta Victory " ) as legend . The name Silbannacus shows a Celtic origin , the " - acus " suffix ; given the location of the coin , Silbannacus could have been a military commander in Germania Superior . As the coin was dated to Philip the Arab age , it is possible he revolted against Philip , with his revolt ending under Emperor Decius , since Eutropius ( ix . 4 ) reports of a " bellum civile " suppressed in Gaul during this emperor rule . A second antoninianus has been published in 1996 , bearing the shortened legend ( " To Mars the defender " ) . According to the style , the coin was coined in Rome ; since the shortened legend is present on Aemilianus coins , in 253 , Silbannacus might have prevailed here during the march of Valerian on Rome . An interpretation of this facts leads to Silbannacus being an officer who was left in garrison in Rome while his emperor , Aemilianus , left to face his rival Valerian . After the defeat and the death of Aemilianus in September 253 , Silbannacus would have tried to become emperor with the support of the troops confined in Rome , thus controlling the monetary workshop , before being quickly eliminated by Valerian and his son Gallienus .
