Matthew,

I used a test value of 10556. This should give us a General with one FULL
leg. Your program worked fine {10000, 500, 50, 5, 1}. If you use 10557,
however, you get TWO Generals! This extra guy should be in the soldiers
tier.

Is it possible to manage the matrix itself in a sequence variable? This
might allow us to actually PLACE units instead of estimate where they'd
be...

For instance:

Here's a matrix with one unit per tier, except for n soldiers:

matrix = {
   {General,
    {Captain,
     {Lieutenant,
             {SquadLeader,
        {Soldier1, Soldier2,...SoldierN}
      }
            }
           }
   }
  }

The matrix above wouldn't actually work... Compare to below for why...

Here's a "full One General Matrix" using prerequisites of {2,2,2,2,1}:

matrix = {
   {General,
    { -- General's downline
     {Captain1,
      { -- Captain1's downline
       {Lieutenant1,
               { -- Lieutenant1's downline
         {SquadLeader1,{Soldier1, Soldier2}},
         {SquadLeader2,{Soldier3, Soldier4}},
        }, -- end of Lt1 downline
       {Lieutenant2,
               { -- Lieutenant2's downline
         {SquadLeader3,{Soldier5, Soldier6}},
         {SquadLeader4,{Soldier7, Soldier8}},
        }, -- end of Lt2 downline
              }
             }
     }
    }
 ...???

sheesh! Okay, what I was trying to do was model the downline using a
sequence. Maybe someone

else can do better.

Here's the matrix in outline form:

General
 Captain 1
  Lieutenant 1
   Squad Leader 1
    Soldier 1
    Soldier 2
   Squad Leader 2
    Soldier 3
    Soldier 4
  Lieutenant 2
   Squad Leader 3
    Soldier 5
    Soldier 6
   Squad Leader 4
    Soldier 7
    Soldier 8
 Captain 2
  Lieutenant 3
   Squad Leader 5
    Soldier 9
    Soldier 10
   Squad Leader 6
    Soldier 11
    Soldier 12
  Lieutenant 4
   Squad Leader 7
    Soldier 13
    Soldier 14
   Squad Leader 8
    Soldier 15
    Soldier 16
