Well, I have approximately 130 members in the RBR, including catering,
aviation, artillery, armor, infantry, engineering, military police, and
other assorted groups. Unfortunately, they have very little in the line of
mechanisation/modern weaponry, but they're getting there. [the navy is
between 15 and 20...and can expand to about 40]. I'm hoping to soon have the
history of Bric-toria barracks up, which will explain the split from
port-block many years ago [From what I have been able to discover,
Bric-toria was once a colony run from there, but when the army took over
Port Block, the navy running Bric-toria was left to defend for themselves.]
And yes, I quite enjoyed the reaction in Jan to my forces arrival...We DID
ask if there was a points limit :)
As to having a few figures...I'm happy to second troops to another
commander...It's basically pick an officer and the troops under him revert
to your control. [providing it's a Bric-torian commander, and some officers
aren't willing to be seconded.]
Oh, yes, and I heartily agree that anyone with 100 or more of a figure has
both too much money and time...good thing there's less than 100 basic
diggers in the R.B.R. :) [though the 'mad' bit is probably correct...at
least my fiancee thinks so with respect to collecting LEGO :) ]
Benjamin Whytcross (who's really working on the 100 figures bit :) ]
