One hundred and one LED''s

Hello everyone,
I've been given a task which requires lighting approx.
100 LED's from a large 6V battery. Although the circuit will be controlled
by a micro, I just need to switch them all on and all off. My question is:
Is there some way I can wire them in series (to simplify hand wiring them)
that will avoid the use of current limiting resistors? ie. can I use the
LEDs themselves to drop the voltage...I'm trying to avoid a one
resistor/LED scenario and I don't want a circuit that has 100 parallel
connections...

Best regards, Duncan
