I'm thinking of rolling in some of the BF 2000 guys into my Steel Brigade Heavy weapons team. But this is a bigger project for later.
So is Ghost Squad only 6 guys? Is it the same as the night force 6 pack just the vastly improved Tracker? So:
Flint
Roadblock
Short-Fuze
Beachhead
Tracker
Tunnel Rat?
Are there more guys?
Do you have Action Man? (I use him a British Operative.)
Do they just pull guys for Ghost Squad for mission specific ops? Are the permanent members only?
Short-Fuze seems like the odd man out here, does he have another role as more of an engineer than a Mortar man? Do you bump him up in credentials? Like SF engineer?
Like What team is Roadblock, Beachhead, Stalker, Gung-Ho, Grunt, Wild Bill and Dusty on? Those are the ones that make it confusing.
Oh yeah what role does Slaughter's Maruaders play? Training?
Do you rename the European Tiger Force Guys?
Yeah, I do leave out Star Brigade, Street Fighters, Eco-Warriors, etc. They just don't fit into my Joeverse. That sounds like a good idea to roll some BF2000 guys into your Steel Brigade. I'd like to hear more about that.
Yeah, Ghost Squad is only 6 guys. You got the roster exactly right. I got these guys a long time after I got the TRU 6-pack, so I do have Action Man, but I really don't consider him part of Night Force. I use him as an Intelligence Operative. As a British Agent, he works with Lt. Stone.
Yeah, I use Short-Fuse like an 18C - SF engineer. His credentials might not be all that impressive, but he's one of the originals. I figure that's got to count for something. He's been around a long time and lived to tell about it. He's doing something right.
OK, so the other figures you asked about
: Roadblock, Beachhead, Stalker, Gung-Ho, Grunt, Wild Bill and Dusty on?
Wild Bill is the Helicopter Commander for All of my G.I. Joe Special Operations Command. He can work with Tiger Force, or Night Force, or any other unit that needs air support.
Roadblock is assigned to Night Force
Beach-Head is the commander of Tiger Force, but is often tasked to go with Night Force/Ghost Squad.
Stalker is the commander of the Desert Patrol Squad and is a reserve member of Tiger Force (This was a hard choice, but Beach-head's convention file card makes him the Tiger Force leader, and I thought Stalker deserved his own command slot, so he got the DPS).
Gung-Ho is the Commander of Steel Brigade
Grunt is on Night Force, I believe.
It's easier to explain with a Chart. I have it drawn out in a big notebook with all my Joe chains-of-command. Sorry I'm not explaining it clearly enough. The bottom line is that choices for primary assignment had to be made, and there wasn't always a scientific way to do it. Sometimes it was simply a matter of what "felt" right, or made sense to me. And overall, the system seems to work. It's complicated when it comes to dealing with so many figures and uniforms for a single character.
