If I'm understanding this right, five patrols would be a troop. And a troop
would be roughly 80 persons. I like the division, but being that Legos are
in a mini scale, a troop or two would hardly seem to constitute an Army. I
like the actual make-up of the unit ( # of troopers, # of NCOs, etc. ), but
maybe it might be more appropriate to fudge the title a little. Just my two
cents worth.

Now this I definately agree. Maybe 4 guns per artillery platoon. 8 guns to a
company.

Overall I like it. Thanks for the info. Might be time to do a little
re-organization in the ranks.
