well the number very between countries and i happened to pick the lowest number i saw and the most common number so for this its 24-30.

Right, it varies between countries, so you're going to deny RoC77 entry because he has... More than the required? You're starting to sound like my floppy penis with your contest.

I might and I stress might be able to get to 24, with 12 normal troops plus support

1. you may enter up to one company worth of platoon(Thats three platoons in this case).

Doesn't that mean between 24-30 to 72-90 figs?

yer thats a platoon.
to make a full army you would need 100s or even 1000s!

SW rifles and pistols (slightly modified, of course) make passable sniper rifles and SMG-ish weapons at TL6. Other than that, there's not much use for them.

That's NOT his entire army, though...

fine but you see my point.

I would see your point if that's what was actually going on, but he has a platoon which is in the same size group as a real life platoon, it's NOT his entire army, and without him entering you only have two entries so far.

What if someone's army is an actual platoon? My PRA army is one platoon, it's within the size requirements, but am I not allowed to enter it because it's an entire army?

i think i already stated more then once the platoons are to be made up of 24-30 guys i don't care about you thinking they are made bigger the the rules area what they are so follow them or don't enter i don't want to sound like a dictator but with out rules there is not point to a contest so follow or leave

Your explainations don't make sense, though.

My army is made of 27 minifigs. It is my entire army, but is platoon sized. I was asking if I could enter it. I don't see the problem with my question. I'm asking to make sure if I can enter or not because you said that you didn't want entire armies and they had to be 24-30 minifigs. Mine is an army that is the size of a platoon, so can I enter it.

ok i will try this agin Rocs army as ever one can see is much bigger then platoon size what he did was just take a picture of the whole mass and say here my platoon. If your army is as big as a platoon i don't mid you entering the whole thing what i did not want was some one just posting the entire army the way roc did where its just a bunch of guys no order and over the limit for one platoon

To translate for Burgundy, all he's saying is that he wants people to put effort into their entries. It's totally okay to enter your pre-made stuff if it meets the qualifications, but don't just look for an old and picture of your army and saying "welp, here ya go".

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.

Okay, thank you for answering my question. That is the only thing that I wanted to know. You said you didn't want people posting their entire armies.
