Hey Loose, are you in town? Glad you got to come home for a bit. I'm leaving town tomorrow but I'll be back on Tuesday. If you're around, it would be great to see you. However, I'm sure you've got PLENTY to do: visiting family, etc. So no worries.
Hope you and your family are doing well.

Yeah they should really combine the two. It has to be impossible to write a story when you are constrained by what you don't know has happened yet. Especially since all the characters have a certain personality or experience level that you can't convey since it may contradict each other.
Take out the Joe names from H&M and they're still good stories, but there's nothing that connects them to Joe. With every little thing done in Cobra, Origins or H&M, that puts constraints on Dixon and the stories he can tell in the main book.

Yeah that is the problem. I think the Beachhead Origins story was a better and longer form of what the Hearts and minds are shaping up to be. I would just rather have an order of battle or Battlefiles as they provide more info (Especially since the filecards have gone down the toilet). What they should really concentrate on is something like the Special Missions.
One shots are awesome. The Beachhead and the Snow Job Origins were like one shot/ Special Missions.

Speaking of Origins: Snow Job.
I just posted an interview I did with the writer, Merrill Hagan. Can check it out here or on the Pryde.

Thanks Loose.
So I just launched my new project over on the Pryde. It's called The Brotherhood and it's going to be epic (in scope, not sure in execution, lol, that's up to all that read it). It's exclusive to the Pryde. Come and check it out. Definately going to be easier to follow then Gatewatch is, lol.

Where is everyone? All on vacation?
Who's checked out #20 yet? Wondering what you all think of the Keel Haul change.

So to start up a conversation..
Thoughts on what IDW is doing with the pilots and navy? Ace is a chopper pilot, not a fighter jock, and Keel Haul (not specifically stated) is a SEaL (or somekind of navy fighter like Shipwreck and Torpedo). The Flagg was replaced with (not familiar with the ship design, didn't really look military) a ship called the Terrapin. Those moves seem to signify that IDW is getting rid of the Joe air force and navy (associated with the fighter jets and the Flagg). As we've gone over before, both those elements really complicate, as well as increase the size of, the Joe team. Zuludelta retasked all the fighter jets to UAV pilots and crew in his filecard project. Seems to me that it makes the most sense with the type of unit IDW is trying to create/portray. Keeps the numbers down (don't need thousands to crew a Flagg) and gets the logistics issues down as well. Thoughts?

Yeah, I think the Joe team was originally conceived as (and works best as) a small unit. I think the main reason we got jets is because Hasbro realized they could probably sell the crap out of a cool toy plane.
