So Nale's idea of impressing his father is showing up on his doorstep with an army of outdated monsters? That's his master plan? Assemble an army of misfits and rejects so laughably unbelievable that no one charged with any degree of responsibility whatsoever wanted to take the blame for updating them? Wouldn't it have been simpler (both logistically and mathmatically) to simply build up some mercenaries or something? I mean, not only did he have to find someone to dupe (OotS), but also, to make his monsters into a viable fighting force, he's in for some serious number crunching to get them all updated and, therefore usable.
