Side by side is a combat maneuver that gives a boost to Attack Strength (AS) and Defensive Strength (DS) when grouped with others that have side-by-side training too.

This maneuver enhances closed-quarters encounters by providing an AS boost that applies to all melee AS attacks from the open (not hiding). This include the commands ATTACK, KILL, AMBUSH and MSTRIKE, the CMs Berserk, Quickstrike, Spin Attack, Mighty Blow, Staggering Blow and Truehand and the spell V'tull's Fury (1718). It does not enhance ranged attacks or bolt attacks.
