Would I be right in assuming that the command strips for PWA01 & 2 comprise of 1 officer, 1 guidon, 1 bugler and a sergeant?

Nigel

PS.

Will there be a personalities pack at some stage (coach)? See what I did there.


Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

There are two command strips:

  • One of officer, guidon and trumpeter (of which there are two different variants)
  • One of three officers/NCOs.

These combined give the necessary command structure for a troop.  Sergeants, if necessary can be shown by raising a trooper from the ranks and giving him the required stripes.

A single troop consists of:

  • 1 x Guidon
  • 1 x Trumpeter
  • 2 x Officers
  • 2 x NCOs
  • 14 x Troopers

PWA1 will give you exactly the right number of all of the above for three complete troops.

No  further clarifications needed . All Sir Garnet! In fact it is 6 Troops... 20 x 6 = 120 as you know... it has always been like that!

Alejo,

The correct number of troopers per troop is 14.  It has always been 14.   I am certain that you will agree with me.  Remember what happens to those who don't agree with me?

Repeat.  '14 - it has always been 14'.

14 - it has always been 14 ... and six complete troops it has always been six troops! 20 x 6 = 120   (a near run thing this time!)...
