No. Force ratios are never controlled.

Well Seth, you never know until you try. If you fellows are wanting to take part in an adjunct Federal company but it isn't there yet, it might be worth a try to see if one can be formed. You've got nothing to lose besides a little effort at this point and you've got a year to put it together.

Yes Doc B, t'will be interesting to see.
As a civilian, I have no dog in the fight of Military force ratios-WE are always hopelessly outnumbered at an event, when WE made up the great majority of the population in the country at any given point.

Still and all, I sat around a big table when this issue was discussed for this very event with these very players(albeit that the venue and date have changed, it is still the same campaign) I listened to how the problem would most certainly be solved. I tended to my knitting, and, in the best tradition of Madame DeFarge, noted who said what. I shall most assuredly look forward to the implementation of that plan and the stated word of honest men.

We shall see.

I wasn't setting at the table but I belong to the Division. With this being a FFD-Cleburne event, one can hope the numbers will be somewhat balanced. Now that the Staffs of both organization are working hard to get ready for the up-coming 150's I have hope. I realize now the Crossroads wasn't FFD event. Twin Rivers will be. I plan on being there and hope a lot of our Federal counterparts will be also. With the different umbrella groups having their meeting in Jan. events in the West and Hobby as a whole will only get better. FFD and Celburnes Staffs are working hard with that goal in mind.

Always

Default Making the sides equal

As members of Cleburne's also, my unit will pledge to play Federal if needed. We like a realistic representation as much as the next person. Anything to make things work. Cooperation, not confrontation is what I say. Just let us know in advance so we don't pack stuff we won't use. Let us know what you need, Mark.
