It'll make a return sometime soon. I'm working on streamlining/revising it.

Here's what the new organization is starting to look like: Commanding General (CG) - Cobra Commander Deputy Commanding General (DCG) - Destro Chief of Staff - General Voltar Assistant Chiefs of Staff: C1 (admin/finance) & Executive Officer of CG - Xamot (COL) C2 (intelligence) - Baroness (COL) C3 (operations) & Commanding Officer of CG - Tomax (Brig) C4 (logistics) - Headman (COL) C5 (CMO/PsyOps) - Crystal Ball (COL) C6 (signal) - Chameleon (COL) Special Staff & Commanders: Chief of Science - Dr Mindbender (COL) Chief TECHNO/Engineer - Hotwire (COL) Chief Surgeon - Scalpel (COL) Chief of CBRNE - Cesspool (COL) Separate Brigades and Regiments Crimson Guard Brigade (CGB): Commanding Officer - Tomax (Brig) Executive Officer - Xamot (COL) Financial Battalion Legal Battalion Information & Marketing (IM) Battalion Iron Grenadiers Brigade (IGB): Commanding Officer - General Mayhem (Brig) 3 x Infantry Battalions Armor Battalion Artillery Battalion Cavalry Squadron Support Battalion Elite Tactics & Weapons Regiment (ETWR*): Commanding Officer - Cobra Mortal (COL) 1st ETW Squadron (Wyverns**) CO - Sebastian Bludd (MAJ) 2nd ETWS (Sand Scorpions) CO - Neurotoxin (MAJ) 3rd ETWS (Eels, Lampreys) CO - name? (MAJ) 4th ETWS (Snow Serpents) CO - name? (MAJ) *ETWR is organized similarly to an SAS Regiment, except each of its four unique skill sets--arctic/mountain, desert/mobile, maritime, HALO/HAHO--are divided among its squadrons, instead of its troops. **Para-Vipers were redesginated Wyverns to instill a consistency in nomenclature, and everyday airborne vipers will be designated Para-Vipers. Note:The other infantry regiments, consisting of various vipers, are commanded by unnamed Colonels. (I'm still sorting out the various combat branches).

Nice set up.
What about the Range-Vipers then under Skull-Buster? There is also Snow Serpent Commander, and they even made a Lampreys officer but I'd say Guillotine would be a better choice. I like the Wyverns idea. One problem I have with Maj Bludd is that he seems more like a General. In my verse he's Major General Bludd. I agree Cobra is way way top heavy! But it is what it is. Not sure how big Cobra should be, but its pretty big and they hand out ranks like free samples of Viagra. Major(Gen) Bludd and Firefly and Zartan are all paid and treated like Generals, should they lead troops. Bludd does so more often. I treat him as the Commander of the Infantry Forces anyway. Scrap-Iron and Copperhead are Colonels. SCrap-Iron stopped working for Destro 20 years ago. Firefly and Maj Bludd have been employed for so long they don't really work for anyone else. Although Firefly rarely leads troop sizes large enough to be a General, he carries that rank and all its pay. It's more like a government equivalent. There are CIA agents that plan with generals and Colonels and their GS grades make them equivalents. Plus My Cobra Army is also a Mercenary Army so it's useful to rank as high or higher as the local commanders you are assisting. I'm debating whether I should convert some of the top half to Government titles. Many of the named Cobras are at least (0-5) Commander. So Rip-It, Skull-buster, Claymore, Snow-Serpent Commander are all (0-5), and they are as ruthless and tough as Cobra has. The rank of (0-4) Major is about as high as a faceless Cobra gets. Cobra Drivers are (0-2)Lts The various other Cobra Officers and Neo-vipers and Hiss drivers are Captains or Majors or Lt. depending on which ever I have the most or least of. The more I have the lower the rank. To become an officer in any unit of Cobra you just have to be the most ruthless guy around. It's more of a title than anything else. You get paid more but you have to answer to someone above and battlefield executions of officers are common. So any Cobra Officer is not afraid of anyone.

Cobra Commander = King (Or King Cobra)
Serpentor = Emperor More or less equivalents although they try not to occupy the same space. Serpentor tries to do most of the fighting since he is a better stategist. CC is a better money maker. Destro = Marshall (0-10) Generals Overlord Tomax Xamot Gen. Mayhem (0-9) Lt. Generals Baroness Darklon Dr. Minbender Black Dragon Cesspool (0-8) Maj Generals Maj Gen Bludd Voltar Storm Shadow Dr. Venom Zartan Headman (0-7) Brig Generals Firefly Wild Weasel Alexander Destro Hannibal Interrogator CLAWS Commander (0-6)Colonels Mortal Scrap-Iron Night Creeper Leader Gristle Red Laser Venomus Maximus Big Boa Overkill Scalpel (0-5) Lt. Colonels Guillotine Snow Serpent Commander SkullBuster Cooperhead Zarana Lt Col Claymore Slice Rip It Crystal ball Escorpio Voador Neo-Viper Commander (0-4) Majors Zandar Dr. Knox Hotwire Skycreeper Blackout Croc Master Raptor Metal-Head Neuro toxin Razorclaw GhostBear Coil Crusher *I'm going to have to rework this already as I've added Red Skull, Red Shadows Dr. Doom, Khalikhan and Iron-Klaw who will most likely rank above Generals.

Range Vipers are organic to the long-range recon company led by Skull Buster (MAJ). I kept Bludd a major because he's one of the few original Cobras that had an actual rank. He always felt like a field officer that went out with the troops, plus he has an SAS background so I mirrored the EWT squadron commanders after SAS squadron majors, but in reality Cobra's squadrons are larger and should be led by Lieutenant Colonels.
However, I could incorporate the Skull Squad as an elite unit of saboteurs and place Bludd in his rightful place as their commander. Perhaps I'll just make them a troop-size unit that specializes in demolitions and IEDs. Do you use the Coil? What about Cobra CLAWS? Where do they fit in? So Croc Master and Big Boa are officers as well? I see them as First Sgt or Sgt Major material. |

Have you placed your Cobra officers into HQs for specific combat units like armor, artillery, aviation, infantry, special forces, logistics, etc? If so, who's in charge of which units?
PS. I forgot to put Hotwire and Cesspool on the special staff. I haven't found places for all the Cobras yet because I don't have them organized anywhere near as well as the Joes. Last edited by Tanksmasher; 12-01-2011 at 06:45 PM.. |

Tanksmasher, how about using Bayonnet from The Plague as your Snow Serpent Commander? After all, he does have a code name, so to speak.

Yeah, he was from the end of the DDP run, the WW III storyline. Basically, The Plague had 13 members, like the Joes initially did. Most of them represented different branches of Cobra, and Bayonnet was the Snow Serpent. Others included a CG, an AVAC, a Laser Viper, a Night Creeper, a Range Viper, a SAW Viper, and a HISS driver (Munitia).
