He should be pretty easy to make.
Besides Stalker, are there any other full camo bodies out there?

I think if you want to minimize the amount of greenshirts you need to fulfill supply and staff positions, I'd say focus on a company-size organization with armor and artillery sections or platoons attached. A tank platoon would only need four tanks, an attack helicopter platoon could have five apaches or dragonflys or supercobras, and a cavalry platoon would use six bradleys or Warthogs (or whatever Joe CFV equivalent you want). This minimizes the HQ and supply and maintenance units you'd need.

Right now I have the Joes in 3 large bases and 2 smaller bases.
The larger bases would have an infantry, artillery, armor and air elements. 2-3 tanks, 2-3 fighters, etc.. with the required support personal. The smaller bases I'm not quite sure how they'll be set up (a desert base and arctic base). I don't think I'm going to follow any currently organized set-up and kind of goes with what works best with the Joes. There are 6 Direct Action Units of 6 men. These are mulit-functional teams. They perform recon missions, recovery missions, typical Joe missions, go in ahead of the main assault, etc.. Each DAU has a sniper and some kind of observer (Forward Observer, Combat Controler, etc..). There are 2 amphibious DAU units (SEaLs and Marines). One of the 6 is also kind of an airborne insertered unit (Skydive, Barrell Roll, Skymate and some others). There's also a VBSS unit, a supply and logistics unit (for resupplying on the battlefield), a combat engineer unit, SWAT/CBQ. There's also a 12 man unit that I nicknamed the "fire and forget". These guys go in with no support and are on their own for the duration of the mission (it includes Wild Bill and Crankcase), headed up by Flint. Strictly black ops, off the book type operations. There's also the intelligence unit and a Special Forces unit that, like the "fire and forget" (i need a good name), operates on their own and behind enemy lines or deep in foreign territory. And can't forget the 4-man LRRP unit for deep and long recon missions. I'm debating what to call the DAUs. SHould they just be Team 1, Team 2, etc.. or give them squad nicknames. The bases are Alpha, Delta, etc.. Should they have nicknames or kind of go with the way military bases are named now? For example, the North American base could be called Fort Flagg. There's also an R&D unit. There are ALOT of holes to fill. Luckily there's alot of different versions of existing Joes that don't really look alike.

So what are all the different types of operations (as in Recon, Combat Patrol, Underwater Demolitions, Urban Assault, etc) that we can list? I'm also thinking about tailoring my units so that each specializes in different type of insertion (HALO/HAHO, air assault, amphibious landing, helocasting, SCUBA, ground).

There's too many to list...
I'm trying to make my Direct Action Units able to cover multiple types of operations. The "fire and forget" unit can do alot more on it's own.

A scout swimmer team or a demolition team or a HALO team or whatever is almost always pulled from the same guys who comprise the rifle squads, temporarily grouped together to maximize their skill qualifications as a single unit. A better solution for a real-world GI Joe team, IMHO, is to stick with a rifle squad-based organization (if you're like me and imagine the Joe team as more akin to the Rangers or the SEALs) as the only permanent grouping, and then listing, per individual, what other contingency-based special team positions they are qualified to hold. So, as an example, a guy like Snake-Eyes would be assigned a permanent position in a rifle squad (as a rifleman, for instance). But he would also be qualified to hold positions in contingency-based special teams like the Combat Diver Team, Demolition Team, and Scout Swimmer Team. But the important thing to keep in mind is that these special teams aren't permanent and they don't exist "alongside" the squad organization. They are dictated purely by mission needs and are formed and dissolved from mission to mission. Last edited by zuludelta; 03-21-2009 at 02:14 AM.. |

That's kind of what I'm going for. The Joes are in semi-permenant teams that have different specialities. For example, one DAU has Roadblock on it, another has Wreckage.
There is always a sniper,controler and a pointman/tracker, but the OiC/2iC and rifleman position can and will be different. So each DAU can be used for different type missions but they all can be used for the same type mission. Does that make sense? The "fire and forget" unit is comprised of members so it can be all things at all times. The Special Forces guys can be assigned to a DAU as missions dictate and others can be brought out of the various bases as well.

Skymate is the only Australian and don't think his card says Rugby. Don't remember Soccer being mentioned anywhere.
