Most people want lots of soldiers....
My soldier army building tub:
1 Decorated (Governer's) Bicorn
1 Plain Bicorn
15 Black Tricorns
150 Shakos
2 Governer Torso + Heads (1)
165 Soldier Torso + Heads
150 Red Epaulettes
17 Yellow Epaulettes (or maybe 15 yellow + 2 white)
167 White Legs
150 Backpacks
150 Muskets
15 Pistols
17 Cutlasses
Total 1,000 pieces
This yields 150 Soldiers, 15 Junior Officers and two Senior Officers.
Unfortunately, I ran out of pieces to include a plume wheel or two.
Cheers
Richie
(1) IIRC lego includes head & torso as one piece in piece counts on boxes...
I may have to recalculate if this is not the case.

| Now that's a bucket I would buy! Establishing a proper batallion would be *so* easy... one's head spins at the thought.
