@Supduplemup I think the deeper the ranks the more firepower and less chance of wavering due to their being more men.

How goes the war?

Why dont you do this in 2 rank? I mean is there a difference or benefit of using this "4 rank" and using a 2 rank?

In early 18th century they thought deeper formation is more steady and has stronger flanks. That was choice bewteen 6, 4 and 3 ranks (and they hadn't even considered 2 ranks at all).

I'm not familiar with this formation, so please excuse my ignorance; the 4 rank volley is impressive firepower, but how did they cover the troops as they reloaded? With other units, or some integral defensive
elements?

In this 4 rank formation they used all generally known methods of fire: by platoons, by ranks and volley/salvo.
Thus, volley in 4 ranks could have been seen both in salvos and in platoon fire.
When firing by ranks they started from the rearmost rank.

Is this a Poltava reenactment?

No, this was filmed in Kexholm. But uniforms and tactics do represent Poltava period.
