…Boxers, gretchen, snotlings, Fuzzy Wuzzies, Mohawks, Cossacks…

1) Of course! Do you think I am made of money?
b) Cetainly not. I dislike bringing back figures from the Dead Pile™.
iii) Only if you do not have enough bullets.

This is a poll with one obvious answer.

Spreewaldgurken02 May 2012 6:15 p.m. PST

Soviets… Napoleonic anything… Federal ACW infantry…

When you can't fit any more on your table, that'll do

skinkmasterreturns02 May 2012 7:01 p.m. PST

Thats when you get another table.

I believe the only limits are imposed by Orders of Battle and whatever ratio of figures your preferred rules require. For example, if you have every single Zulu ibutho represented at full strength, then you have enough Zulus.

I met a guy once who had the entire Austrian Army (circa 1809) in 15mm, based for Empire. I do mean the entire Army, including units which historically didn't see action, as well as every battalion of Landwehr, the Insurrection, Tschaikisten, etc. A bit obsessive, but at least he could truly say "I have enough Austrians". Unless, of course, he switched to General de Brigade…

b. No.

Lentulus02 May 2012 7:33 p.m. PST

No; and at least once they should all be in one army, and the other guy not allowed maxim guns.

GoGators02 May 2012 7:58 p.m. PST

Negative

uruk hai02 May 2012 9:28 p.m. PST

Money, time and inclination are the only obstacles.

MajorB03 May 2012 1:52 a.m. PST

If you have so many that you cannot fit them all on your table at once, the yes, you have too many.

Sane Max03 May 2012 2:22 a.m. PST

I am very sorry…. why are you limiting the poll to these?

Can you have enough of ANYTHING?

No.

John;
Are you feeling well? That's a daft question now isn't.

Go have a Lager (tm) and a lie down and come back when you are feeling better.

Agreed, since Empire uses a 1:60 roster scale rather than GdB's 1:20, he clearly was only a small fraction of his way there. And then there is always the matter of needing to do it in a larger scale than 15mm . . .

Is it really a poll if there is only one answer?

IV) minions are needed to warrant all those weapons of mass destruction.

mad monkey 103 May 2012 6:57 a.m. PST

No.

stenicplus03 May 2012 7:02 a.m. PST

If your hordes aren't dying fast enough for you to have immediately available replacements then your rules are wrong grin

Yes, it is possible to have too many.

-That's why they invented shelves!
