Gentlemen,
Let me also ask this, and then I'm going to bed:
How do you use the October Guard, and how would you rate them as a team? Given their size - which is obviously small - how do you use them in your Joeverse? And I mean the toys. If you can only use the toys that Hasbro has produced... how do you fit them into your Joeverse?
I have every October Guard figure ever produced, but that is still not a lot of characters/figures. They are too small to pose a serious threat to G.I. Joe or Cobra. However, I consider them to be a very proficient, very tough unit. To me, it makes a lot of sense to use them as Intel Operatives for Russia, and they're on par with Python Patrol or Tiger Force, or maybe even The Plague or Night Force.
What do y'all think?
I've had a hard tie fitting them in at times. And after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there shouldn't even be a team anymore. But I pretend they are all still there and they are all Russians. I'm not sure which Soviet Forces are the most elite, but Spetnaz and Naval Marines are repesented.
They are more concerned about Russian assets falling into terrorist hands and so they have their hands full on those border states. They do everything on the cheap. They don't have a Flagg or Skystikers, or Tank Commanders. Since Brekov is a Colonel he can pretty much requisition whatever assets he needs from Russian or friendly troops he encounters in Asia and Africa and parts of South America. Occasionally they cross paths with the Joes and usually they cooperate with them if there is no items to recover. Plus the Joes let them handle Interrogations.
Other times I have them on loan as part of the Joe team but they really wouldn't be stationed at the Pitt.
