OK I am logged in and there is no edit button. It must disappear I assume after a number of days. So I will add here. To number 3.
I would base the army in Hampshire, Wiltshire, East Sussex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Worcestershire, Powys and also have to a lesser extent army in Derbyshire, North Yorkshire, Lanarkshire, Dumfries & Galloway, Lancashire and Northumberland. I would have them really mix and be friendly with their local community on a very regular basis.
