Thanks Greg. I'll take The Old Forest if it is still available. How much time do I have?

All of you have great ideas. I agree with you Ringulf that the Reunited Kingdom Rangers would be integrated, perhaps even with many remaining Elves and even Dwarves. I would like us all to come up with something mutually agreed upon, especially here on the forum, if that could be done (I know ranger...

Yeah, I considered using a tree system - like a thistle for a recruit for thistles usually stand alone, a vine for the next level for it usually clings to tree or bush. A maple or fir tree for the next for it's the first spring ups in new growth forest and then finally to other hardwoods like birch ...

Good to have another one of our own here. Welcome Crow~Mae Govannen.

In further research, I did find this link which seems to have some promising information - just not sure of the references. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you Daerir. Sounds very "Templar-like". I did find some information online that applied to the Army of Gondor. A Tulkarim was a squad and numbered 16 and a Turma was a company and numbered 96-256. One term is a "cainenhir" which is a "leader of 10" and over a squa...

Need some help from you guys if I might ask. Our group is growing larger. We now have 8 Rangers - 4 active and 4 still working on kits. We're getting large enough that we're wanting to add a military rank structure. Been doing some research but of course it contradicts itself. I get information on t...

Mae Govannen Mirwyn. Your kit looks like it's off to a very good start and you do have the Ranger look. I've only been here a short while myself but am finding these folks to be a wealth of useful information. It's a great Ranger school.

I will go under the assumption that the hostages may be already injured and incapable of fighting. I will also assume that the top of the map is North - woe for all this assuming! I would retreat slightly from my position in the south and move west to get a better view of the goblin guarding the hos...

So I'm assuming that you're buying another trench, maybe off Ebay or something? If you go to buy, I'd look for one that didn't have too many parts sewn together. One thing many clothing manufacturers do is piece leather together to save cost. I don't think the leather would be too thin if you're usi...

In further reading the instructions, I might have jumped the gun. If going to Book II is too early, I can take another. Basically anything with woodland scenes and Rangers I'm good with. One of my guys will make a good Boromir and I've got noone that would make a good Hobbit, so that is my dilemma. ...

If it hasn't been taken yet, I'll take Chapter 3 of Book 2, The Ring Goes South. I've got some ideas for some photos that would match that chapter. How many photos should we take?

Very well done and good to see Christopher Lee at work with them. Thanks for the post.

Outstanding my friend. I'd have you guard my back anytime!

I second you on the plant ID. I've got 13 acres here and I'm still identifying plants on it. Starting to work on a journal so I can collect specimens and maybe do some sketches.
