There's a book called K1 - The First Hundred Thousand (about one of the Scottish units in Kitchener's army) which was a big inspiration for me, crammed full of real-life incidents from WW1 just like that. Thenks for the comment!Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-23965163306289869292012-09-30T20:44:00.593+01:002012-09-30T20:44:00.593+01:00Excellent. I can imagine the Departmento Munitori...Excellent. I can imagine the Departmento Munitorium issuing numbers to all and sundry by slightly different system depending on the Overseer in charge of numbering military formaitons that decade. And of course, even if a subsequent Overseer even notices the 'mistake' and even rarer, decided to do something about it, the correction would then have to try to follow the misnumbered unit Zzzzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363838253700265309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-45020069843420817992012-09-30T18:12:20.133+01:002012-09-30T18:12:20.133+01:00That's a good point - the Imperium isn't t...That's a good point - the Imperium isn't the most joined-up or well-administered unit after all!

I think it is very humorous that you had the numbering wrong 'by your own rules', but not surprising -its pretty deep.<br />Its perfectly fine to have contradictions here and there in the fluff. I'm sure that the 'actual' Guard book keeping in 40k would be full of mistakes and errors anyway so it makes it more realistic. <br />I have read Col.

I like the detain but this sort of stuff has to be taken with a bit of suspension of disbelief - there is stuff in there that's not going to quite fit, and I'm sure over the years I've contradicted myself once or twice. But it's not there as a Codex book, it's there so you can get the feel of Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-85754328226678437202012-09-29T04:22:05.053+01:002012-09-29T04:22:05.053+01:00Its so cool that you have this full background mat...Its so cool that you have this full background mate - even if I did struggle with some of your numbering logic.<br /><br />I think bringing the fluff to the table is a great way to immerse youreself into the models rather and experience - a bit like an RPG.<br /><br />Cheers for sharing mate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-40288367603475000872012-09-29T00:51:40.251+01:002012-09-29T00:51:40.251+01:00You sir, have taken what i sought to do with my ar...You sir, have taken what i sought to do with my armies. and blown it into epic proportions, beyond my wildest dreaming.
