Thanks! Right now I have just a little bit more soldiers than peasants... not
that I have enough of each anyhow...

The reason(s) I put in WP as peasants will become evident in my storyline.
I think it ties a lot into the fact that the WP aren't just "good guys"
or "bad guys" (like, for example, KK vs Moo-men, or RK vs FK) but they give
different connotations to every individual.
I remember that a while back there was a discussion about "good vs. evil" in
the Castle kingdoms. Nobody could agree on the WP, some saw them as good,
others as bad... or just neutral.

For now, I decided to use the silver swords. However, if the silver starts
flaking off, I'll give them some grey swords.

Yeah, that was my line of thought.

Try ordering 6038s from the outlets (if they're not all gone by now). Each one
has 3 swords. By ordering 3 6038s (~20 bucks w/shipping) I increased my sword
count by 12!

Maybe, but the swordsmen are nicer <grin>. IMO.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I think I'll put a step behind the bar, if I
lower it it'll be way too low.
I ordered some red plates from S@H so once they get here I'll start the second
floor.
