Very odd - any idea what the blue stripe in the right hand box is ?

I think that just goes up with the number of posts, Ian....If you look at Will in the list of forum members, he's almost filled it in !!

Cheers - Phil

Pass. 

I'd guessed that it would be 7,500.

But at least we've got a proper list again !!

Cheers - Phil

In theory yes, I'm not quite sure why you've not had the promotion there.  It might be another bug in the system, or something to do with 'visible' posts versus those made on the playtesting board?

I've found one other member who's between 7,000 and 7,500 (Hertsblue - 7140posts) and he's still showing as a Lt Gen, rather than a Gen....So maybe it is 7,500 for a General ??

Right...I've finished mixing my next bit of putty....Now to go and put it on a figure.

Cheers - Phil

I think you're right, I've had a look inside the Membergroups settings and it's down as 7500.

Well I am 'just' a colonel, but I don't care, i have just checked a colonel's salary and it is currently £90k -

Leon, I accept Paypal :-)

It LOOKS as though that looks more likely, Leon.

The jumps from rank in rank from Lt Gen to Marquis are all steps of 2,500, by the looks of things.

If the General came in at 7,000 there would be a jump of 3,000 to Field Marshall, then back down again to 2,500 to get to Baron.

Cheers - Phil (I think I've got that right  )

Not until you get 7500

So you only cater for public school chinless wonders?

As a fully paid-up member of the proletariat I object to this elitist philosophy!

And I've just been promoted! Ahh, the irony.

Okay, so now I'm Lt.Col., which battalion do I get?

Sumat int Pioneer Corp, to reflect your political veiws.

Is the Middlesbrough Foot and Mouth, a Battalion.....Or a regiment ?....Or summink else ?

Cheers - Confused of Wales ?

It's infantry - so tactically a battalion and administartivly a regiment. In theory in British usage a Regiment and Battalion are synonimus where you only have 1 unit, so as for instance 5/8th Kings Liverpool is 5th Btn, 8 rgt of Foot. To complicate matters the RA is one Rgt, whilst in WWII units forming part of the RTR were Btns, but Cavalry unites were Rgts. Even more confusing - in WWII an Infantry Division had a Signals Btn till 44?, and an Armoured Division and a Sigs Rgt.

Answered your question Phil, are just confused you more ?
