Using modern ranks tends to give the impression of a more modern style of army, something I usually don't use in my campaigns. If I want to use an organised army with a cohesive structure I'll usually use Roman or Roman like fictional titles, often by numbers such as mileturion for a commander of a thousand. For feudal armies I emphasize the ad hoc nature by simply using their normal titles, i.e. Warden of the West Marches.</blockquote>
