The stages of buying a BKC army.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

One - thorough research and examination of theater time period in detail

Two - actually, what do I fancy?

Three - oh, shiny! Hasn't thought of that.

Four - oh, that doesn't have an army pack

Five - see three, tempered with 'what do the lads at the club have'?

Six - higher command stands, really need those.

Seven - artillery observation teams please

Eight - anti aircraft assets, quick, my opponent has bombers!

Nine - more tanks please!

Ten - fortifications and engineers needed
