A very similar military punishment found in later armies was known as "running the gauntlet". The condemned soldier was stripped to the waist and had to pass between a double row (hence also known as die Gasse, "the alley") of cudgeling or switching comrades. A subaltern walked in front of him with a blade to prevent him from running. The condemned might sometimes also be dragged through by a rope around the hands or prodded along by a pursuer. Special figures only. For a complete scene, it is nessecary to add figures from other series: 100/25/200, 100/25/201, 100/25/218, 100/25/219, 100/25/107
