Of course, the Defiant, the Terror Drome and the Battle Platform have now been through a few floods, so they're probably not in the greatest shape (everything else was boxed up and put elsewhere, but those were too big and thus stayed on the floor in the basement). I'm hoping I can clean them... Never had a clue about this "army building" thing, though, so I had only one of each figure. It didn't dawn on me that you could buy more than one of each until much later, and how cool that would be. ;)

You know, I've always really like Python Patrol, and after the 6 pack came out I was really excited. I bought two 6 packs... and I've got Classic Python Patrol Copperhead (he's the 1SG). I've always thought Major Bludd is underestimated. The guy was with the Australian S.A.S. and the Foreign Legion - he would have to be incredibly tough. So I just turned Python Patrol into the Major Special Operations unit for Cobra. It's got great personnel, and it's big enough for nearly any mission.
I use the Plague as the Baroness's special Unit: they fall under intelligence, and I use them like C.I.A. commandos. The undertows I just throw in with the other Cobra Eels - not as elite as the Morays. I like your system too. Using the Plague members to command different types of units is smart. One other unit I should mention: The Crimson Guard The Crimson Guard is basically used like Armored Cav. We have a number of the tanks (8 mobat repaints and 4 hiss repaints) and we have three of the Crimson Cobra version of the night attack helicopters. we have a tone of Crimson Guardsmen. It's a large, well armed unit. It's not the total of our Cobra Armor, but it's certainly the rapid deployment force with the most punch. I use the Crimson Guard Immortals as elite Cav Scouts. Now that I have the MASS device - these guys could show up anywhere in force. I didn't pick up the original Python Patrol guys except Copperhead and I love that guy but I like My new one even more, so I'm using him as Gathilo from the Brazilian line. Roughly translated I think it means Sure shot or Bullseye. Now Crimson Guards that's an interesting one. For me since there are a million versions now. This is my verse of course: All are officers, they are commissioned as Capt. right off the bat. You figure all are college educated and Lawyers or accountants. So much like our Armed forces they get commissions. They are the spies of Cobra as well. But they have other roles as well. Like the SS they are the best trained troops in Cobra. They are the Political Officers of Cobra, sort of like how Soviet era Russia was set up. So he may not be the field commander but he could just as easily put a bullet in the field commanders head and take over.. They are trained as military officers and are usually brighter than what gets put in the field. Shadow Guards are the Gestapo wing of the Crimson Guards. Crimson Guard Immortals are the Highest ranking CGs and they do serve as battle field commanders occasionally. They all hold the rank of Colonel. They are only tapped for duty to serve with Cobra Commander. Cobra Commander does not travel lightly armed. But he keeps his detachment with him at all times. If one of these guys tells you to do something you know it came straight from the Commander. Crimson guard commanders are 0-5 equivalents and they serve as Battlefield commanders and are the next step down. Most CGs are Capts or Maj and there is one attached to every unit. Like a Chaplain |

Alright Oliver you talked me into it, so now I joined and I'm posting instead of lurking. I would argue that Dog fight would be AF or USMC because he flew a fixed wing air craft that was for ground support and not carrier based
Also, regarding the crimson guard, we have 12 Crimson Attack (11 red and 1985 Sears exclusive black one) The CG play the role of Air Cav for us because they are the only troops in Cobra with the necessary vehicles to do so. |
