FOR
THE PERFECTIONIST : compiled
by Bruno Just.
This
is for those who like to know the names of their regimental colonels as well as
general officers, as I do. In my French & Confederation Army, I identify
the units by a label underneath the base of the command element, which gives
the unit's name and number as well as the unit commander's name. Naturally, all
my Marshals, Generals, Aides-de-Camp and Field Officers of Artillery are named.
It gives an air of authenticity.
