In ROC77's case, you should probably just go set up your platoons again, and take another picture. Be sure to seperate them into different platoons that match up with the size approximations, such as a "heavy assault" division and a "general invasion" platoon, or something like that. Again, show the contest that you actually care a bit.

That said, I am once again away from my legos, so can't, and will not, enter.
at last i have found some one who can speak translate for me
Been here longer then pretty much all of you or some shit.

*Face Palm.* You don't SPEAK translate! That would mean translate is a different language! You can only translate one laungauge to an other.

Actually, 'bonjour' literally means 'good day'. Real French people say 'salut'.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

Google Translator needs a "james+burgundy" section.

Salut with a little triangle thingy over the U.

And we don't need a james+burgandy translator because that would point towards the fact that he might actually be saying something of some value and/or interest.

I'll take the blame for this. I just posted up an old pic of my army. It was not setup for the compeition, I was going to post a better one later like I said.(The pic I had, used 2, 18 man platoons) I have a 24 man platoon now. (Thx to my new bricklink helmet order) But for logistics, I have a seperate squad for that. I can't add them to the platoon(it would add too much) and I can't create a seperate platoon(not enough guys). Hmmm.... I have another order coming, I think I'll be able to set it up better after that.
