Democratically elected after discussion and analysis of several themes at tonight's meeting, carried by a near unanimous majority!

Has a fancy level for costume enthusiasts

So are we talking solely modern day armies? All of the following are army uniforms, or were at some point.

(http://ikangaroo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/1000.jpg)
Swiss guards, still the Vatican's army I think.

(http://www.old-picture.com/civil-war/pictures/Cavalry-Officer-Uniform.jpg)
Some cavalry officer from some point

(http://www.1rtr.net/historical/lordcarver.jpg)
This is a tank unit field marshal. I think it's still the official uniform.

Or would that much variation ruin the group effect?

Just saw this now, they look great, I think it'll still be identifiable with the group :)
