Anyone ever played "Civil War" style?

we play this all the time its pretty fun... sux if you have a cocker cuz you have to fire an extra time every shot. anyhow we toyed with the idea of lines but never got around to it think the customers would be scared crapless.

Either
A) Start with one in the breech and one on the bolt or
B) Just cock the marker after each shot.

I've also heard of a type where you get a lot of people and divide int to two lines about 75 feet apart. Each person puts one ball in and a ref yells "Ready, aim, fire!" The people who are still alive take a step forward while the people who got hit get out.

This is the version I have heard about. I have never played it, but I would like to give it a shot.

civil war is ok, but not as fun as the put one in the chamber, stand back to back, take twenty paces, turn and shoot tho

Sounds like The War of 1812 style. They had some breech loading guns, but they still did the line. Once the civil war started, the lines were almost non-exsistant.
