So Action Force lists Spirit as a Green Beret? That's interesting. I'm going to have to consider that.

I've been reading more of those Action Force Battle Files. They list Hawk as a member of Delta Force. That's pretty interesting, and in a way, it makes a lot of sense. I have to say, those Battle Files are pretty awesome. They give a lot of details. Do we have any idea who wrote those or where they came from? This is a fantastic resource. In a lot of ways, the Battle Files are what our file cards should have been.

Duke's File card is very impressive. It gives a lot more of his family history, and a lot of detail of his service in Vietnam, how he earned the CMH, and how he joined Special Forces. It also mentions that he was in DELTA Force with Hawk. Pretty awesome stuff, really.

I also had more Joes then Cobra, and no friends that played Joes.
So alot of my time was spent taking Joes and setting 'em up and then moving on, lol. I'd build forts and put 'em in it. Now that I look back, I didn't really have many battles with my Joes.

With the Delta Force Research that Oliver Box has performed. Would you consider they are considered "active" High ranking Sergeants? Do Delta Force personel get paid thru the Army or does it go thru CIA/under-the-table fund? Can we agree or has it already been agreed to, that GI Joe personel arent considered "active" Because they are no longer being paid thru their respective service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard), or by under-the-table funding thru GI Joe? If this is the consensus, my joes are all getting promotions minimum of E-6 or O-3, and they all will get tickets to go to "the Average Joe Band" Concert.

In the old Marvel Continuity, the Joes were active military personnel and paid as such (this was shown in Outback's first appearance, though I can't recall the Issue #). It's unclear to me how DDP envisioned the Joes being funded after the relaunch. In the new IDW continuity, there's no way to tell yet for certain, but it seems that the Joes "officially" die and are then funded by some off-book source. At least that is the impression I've gotten so far. Given that both methods have been tried in the official continuities, I would say it's up to you. I personally like my Joeverse as a distinctly military unit. Some, like Troynos, prefer their Joeverse as a more eclectic force. I would say whichever system works for you would be a good choice. Both systems have been officially used by Marvel and IDW. Given that the old continuity did it one way

True. I just wonder if the Joes would let him play on any of their sports teams. Hey that's something I don't think has been discussed. The Joes need to have a sports team like Army and Navy to play in semi-pro leagues. So who should be on their football roster?
On a side note, Oliver, I walked into a Marshalls today and found the Holy Grail--Best of the 80s dvd battle pack. First I went to Ross' next door but they only had the old sets, but when I went into Marshalls I couldn't believe my eyes! If only they had two of these, I would be a millionaire! |
