.....
Anyway, that's what I do. Hope it helps, but honestly, I love talking sub-groups. Anything else you'd like to discuss/ask, please feel free. I collect all of them except BF2000, and I've given them all a great deal of thought.
October 16th, I decided to set my Joe-verse in official GI JOE sub-team units. After re-reading the issues in the Graphic Novels in GI JOE Classics 12 and Special Missions 4. Also, the Sunflower parade and visiting the Kansas Aviation Museum, it brought back alot of memories. So I decided to name the A-Teams as Sub-teams. My idea also involved creating guidons for the color guard to carry, (Yeah, flashbacks of Civil Air Patrol days in formation and marching in parades). I have my sub-teams set up slightly set up differently than Oliverbox's, since I use all of the sub-teams like that of a 12 person Special Forces Green Beret A-Team, even tho they arent all qualified as Green Berets.
I usually have them rolling in vehicles as a 6-person Split A Team organization. They dont have the official Sub-team vehicles, they instead have 2 Humvee style vehicles attached to each A-Team. At this moment Sky Patrol, only has the C-130. The Color Guard has the Toys R Us Command Police Van. The Delta-type Teams are Helicopter Inserted. Also, I hate to admit it but, the Battle Corps Rangers are grounded for now.
-Tiger Force - Typical Main Response A-Team (I think Oliverbox called it a Ruck).
-Night Force - Maritime Operations & Mountain Operations, Boat inserted (here are my snow guys).
-Battle Corps Rangers - Air Assault.
-Battle Force 2000 - Urban Operations, ironically, none of Battle Force 2000 characters are part of this team. Also, Color Guard occasionally attached to this A-Team.
-Sky Patrol - Military Freefall. The Real Sky Patrol and my Air Force Special Tactics Team guys (Slipstream, Pathfinder, Barrel Roll, Ripcord, Bombstrike, and Stretcher)
I still have the Command/HQ "C" Team they are assigned a woodland camo Humvee I got from Smalljoes for Hawk, Duke, Flint and Beachhead. a "B" Support Team led by Courage and Psyche Out has the 2 Humvee Transports and 2 AWE Striker and the VAMP 1500. The 5-person EOD team has a Desert Camo Humvee, I also have a 4-person C-130 Flight Crew, 4 person SWCC/VBSS team on the Ensign Cutter, Three helicopter inserted 4-person Delta Force type teams, a 10-person MAS-X unit and the 6-person Color Guard.

That's probably why I own something close of 50 Patriot Grizzlies... if I want a Company of Tanks in my Joe Armor, then I better be able to field a company of tanks for my Joe Armor. That's just my feeling on the matter.
Yeah, my Joe-verse is of my collection and wishlist of upcoming Joes (ie: Airtight, Lifeline, Sci-Fi, Law, etc) of roughly 124 joes.
I am thinking of dissolving "D-01" Stalker's 4-person Delta Team, and assigning him to Battle Corps Rangers, placing Storm Shadow and Fred back to cobra. But then I wouldnt know what to do with Snake Eyes. It's kinda important for Snake Eyes to have Stalker's team or else he doesnt seem to fit anywhere. He might fit in the sniper type Delta team.
Currently, my vehicles roster is: 2 AWE Strikers, 4 World Peacekeepers Humvees (with 2 additional Transport Humvees), 3 of those WalMart The Corps vehicles I use as VAMP 4500 and 2 ROC VAMPS, I call the VAMP 3500, and then the orginal VAMP as the VAMP 1500. A Toys R Us Police Command Van, "The Ensign Cutter" (Toys R Us Navy boat) commanded by Lt Cutter. Then my Rotary Wing "Flight" an AH-6, MH-6, UH-60 and a UH-65 Tomahawk, (It's what I call my World Peacekeepers Aerial Rocket Helo HH-65 camo) and the Toys R Us C-130. Yet, my 100 Cobra troops right now are all Infantry. LOL.
MAS-X (Mobile Armored Strike-eXperimental), is led by Matt Trakker with the RHINO, Jackhammer (Steel Crusher), Snow Cat, Ice Dagger, 2 Armadillos, Dragon hawk and Tiger Rat. Still debating about the 2 Sky Hawk's I have. Are they watercraft or aircraft?
I do have a question for those of you who have the smaller scale helicopters and aircraft. Do you only use the seats in the aircraft or do you use the imaginary seating of the official capacity of the aircraft? Like for example: the True Heroes UH-60, do you use the 8 seats, or the 14-16 in real life stats?
