it depends because 30 soldiers for exemple can sometimes be better then 150 soldiers (in rare cases but still)
It's the quality not the quantity
That's what the lcn did all the time in the history, many families didn't open the books for years cause they had the right guys already


And for this reason that families like Pittsburgh,Cleveland ecc when the feds hitted hard and arrested many members,who remains on the street simply doesn't have the men and the family become defunct.
Montreal isn't NY,who rules on the rizzuttos must rebuilt the reputation and rebuilt the family knowing that an alliance between bikers,irishs,mob and haitians can't be restored and had only 30-40 soldiers doesn't help.
