So Duke (out of the figures I have) has the 25th/ARAH version, the Red Star Comic Pack, Resolute, RoC Desert, RoC City Strike and RoC Jungle Assault (the last 2 upcoming, I think the heads are different enough for my uses).
Southeast Asia would be the best location, what's a friendly country in that part of the world?
I like the chalk idea, a medium size unit that can be broken up into smaller fireteams.
I ditched the Flagg. My Joe unit doesn't have jet fighters, but does have VTOL craft.
I use the JHVS for my navy, with a couple of Mark V as escorts.
Thailand? Taiwan? Australia? are there any bases left in the Philippines? Diego Garcia?
Still I wonder how many sailors should the Joe Naval Forces have? 150? 500? 1000?

Oooh Col Trautman. Colton is good. I'm waiting for the Clubs Adventure team leader as he will look perfect for Colton

On the one hand, Asia needs a base all its own but where?. Japan, Korea, China and HK would be huge Cobra targets for both recruitment and activity. It's where the money is. Not to mention we've seen in the comics that Cobra was recruiting from the Yakuza. Also this area is Black Dragon territory. In the comic, both Jinx and Budo were based in Tokyo but I like the idea of both of them stateside. I think someone like Quick Kick would be a better fit. Half Korean/Japanese and is in the film industry means he can move around and collect intel.
I've been toying with the idea of bureaus all over the world. Manned by say six joes, similar in concept to the bureau concept in the DD comic. In SE Asia, I'm thinking Col Braddock (MIA) and John Rambo as operatives. They do their own thing but when will work with the Joes when they need to.
The other HUGE problem is the FLAGG. even if treated like a mini carrier, that's still alot of sailors. Even a tenth of the crew is like 500-600.
I have the carrier based in the Atlantic and treat it as a prototype. It has it own air wing (using the storm eagles) but no support craft. That's another thing, carriers travel in groups. There's usually 2 destroyers, a frigate, a cruiser, tanker and a sub.
I'm thinking maybe 30 staff plus air crew.
Are you talking about a Carrier with a crew of 30? Yeah I figure something like a Tarawa Class Carrier has a crew of like 1000? so maybe the experimental craft has a crew of say 500 would be my guess? Then a couple of LCS that a suitable for the Open Ocean. They use a crew of as little as 15 but more like 40.
