Were Lt. Dolphin or Beaver qualified as SEALs? Were they SBS?

So, for my SAS/SBS Team, I will use "Longslide" and "Digger"... that really helps, but I would like to include the AF versions of Hit & Run, Outback, and Beach-Head. The problem is that I really don't want to duplicate codenames... any suggestions? That solution of calling the UK/AF version of Footloose "Longslide" was perfect. A solution like that would be awesome.

By the way, does anyone know anything about the new character "Mouse" from Retaliation?

All I know is that he may be based off the Sgt Savage character, who was the team's "hacker," so a computer specialist it seems.

Hmmm. His figure/accessories make it seem like he might be a sniper. I saw what you're talking about on Wikipedia, and that's all I could find. Surely, someone on this forum has seen an early screening and can answer this question.

I'm not sure what the best approach is here. I think it's fair enough to rename our UK Footloose as Long Slide, but how to fit in e.g. Flint, Beach Head, Outback and Hit and Run who all also differ significantly from the US characters (and would all be SAS) I don't know. Good calls. Not sure about Lt. Dolphin's background, I'll have to do some more digging. Beaver was Canadian SoF then came to the SAS as one of their boat specialists (waterborne sabotage). Barracuda is ex French Foreign Legion, and came to the SAS (and is dressed in a wetsuit!) Stakeout is another SAS member who's primarily boat focused as his primary speciality is Seaborne Assault. I think it would be fair to place those three as members of either the SBS or SAS Boat troop. As for other members of the SAS: Quickfire came from GSG9 to the SAS and there's also Sparrowhawk, who is a parachutist (by figure), apparently from the Belgian parachute display team and ex-Air Force. I'd be tempted to stick him in as a HALO/HAHO specialist, not sure whether his backstory works though as I know nothing of the Belgian military.

Last I checked they didn't really have computers back then.

Apparently Mouse is one of the team members who fights with Sgt Savage in the cartoon--I never watched it, just read the synopsis--but I don't know if he is also an unfrozen WWII veteran, maybe just a modern addition. But you're right, it wouldn't make sense to have an infantryman/computer specialist in WWII. He is supposed to be very tall (6'9", 6'8"), a bit clumsy, and a "hacker" in the cartoon anyway.

Slogger and Bootstrap were a few of Zulu renames for Action Force guys. IIRC.
