So probably at least 150 wins needed (not the 250 mentioned soemwhere above).

I think the key here with the Col promotion is the kind of wins you have not so much the amount.

I spent hours working with the Cadets, so 5 of them getting promoted with me was highly likely.
It could be that a player not doing this may need closer to around 250 wins to get these numbers.

Training new Cadets into Battle is the requirement.

I would not have felt very good about my self by just taking a first game Cadet and expecting them to know much about the Pacific rules for example (what fun is that for either of us), so for each one that was interested to do this (Not all were) I would walk them through each play, explaining to them why and answering all their many questions.

It made for a very very long game at times and one that I would often then loose because I was just basicly playing myself.

However so many of them were over joyed, grateful and said they had a real good time so that just made the game for me too,
many would later keep inviteing me to different scenarios so I could teach that one(Arghh Commissar).

Bottom line is once I had got used to playing this way,
I cant say enough how I did completely enjoy it myself and then getting the promotion made it one of the best yet for me.

So watch out for my Cadets hopefully they are some of the best new troops out there.

Lt Col - Col
160 Wins.
