Tom, I don't think there was ever a formal ranking system, you'll have to sort one out for your own armed forces. There are two torsos: the grunt's, with the crossed white sashes, and the officer's (so I use them ;-) with the buttoned back top coat, (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)

Hi all, I'm not a military buff and so I haven't a clue as to what the ranking of the Imperial soldiers are supposed to be. I gather that the one with the white trimmed hat is an admiral and the foot soldiers are obvious, but what are the others. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)
