So just when I think I've placed all the known Joes in my organization I find one that I've left out: Mariner. He's a sailor and an amphibious warfare expert. No mention of SEAL training, so where do you guys place him? I was thinking maybe a Riverine Security Team, a VBSS team, or perhaps in an LCAC unit which would be more in line with amphibious assault.
In fact the more I consider it, he'd make a perfect LCAC Craftmaster (E-7) and I could place him on the WHALE. Last edited by Tanksmasher; 07-23-2015 at 10:55 AM.. |

That does sound good. How was he introduced Amphibious Warfare? I always picture him as a Devilfish Operator. Steeler head on a City Strike Duke body.

I haven't read the comics of him in quite some time but the wiki sites and others describe his specialty as Amphibious Warfare. I use the Devilish as a kind of universal small boat that any Joe can use without too much technical training. But Cutter, Topside, Mariner, Rampart, and even Shipwreck would make a solid WHALE crew.

I'd peg him either as a WHALE operator like Cutter or a SWCC

I figure all those guys to be SWCC and I would include Felino, who looks the part. I Don't separate the South American Joes from the US American Joes.

Marujo is a better fit as a SWCC from Brazil. Felino should be a jungle warfare dude.

This is either Mariner or Wet-Down. It's hard to keep them straight, sometimes because when the figures have their helmets on they look pretty similar.

You're probably right. But in hand with the Tiger-Shark, Felino has that SWCC feel about him. His filecard mentions Navy School, whatever that is. to me he is the guy who drops off the jungle guys.

Well, that'd be whatever the club made up. His Brazilian card doesn't mention any military training at all...

The Commandos heard of an Indian, considered the "terror of the Amazon" that drove away hunters with bombs. "An Indian with explosives?! So it can only be a Cobra!" - concluded the Commandos. And they left to capture him. But because of the ability to escape into the dense forest, and he ended up chasing the Commandos and conquering them all! It was a half-breed of the jungle that only protected the animals and the forest, stopping deforestation by blasting machines of illegal logging. He was soon recruited to the Tiger Force, - elite troops of super commandos for missions that require superhuman ability. In the grip of the "Tiger of the Jungle" the Cobras station is lost in the jungle without hope!
