Very cool fellas!

Nice one Steph. There is no particular direct translation for the French 'Departement', which, in the UK at least, could be County, or, depending on size, even region.
For example, a region in the north west of England, generally known as 'The Lake District', encompasses more than one actual County, the same as the area where I live, on the edge of 'The Peak District'.
To make matters worse, the first is full of lakes, whilst the second has little to do with the crests of the hills in the area, being named after a tribe of Ancient Britons !
The French system is easier, and makes mote sense!

Mine's just a nickname my dad gave me when I was young because when I played with toy soldiers I'd always shout commands like " Go over there!" and "Shoot now!" Those were the days!
