Okay, here's my Amphibious Assault and SEAL Teams - inserted by WHALE Hovercraft or RIB
Amphibious Team Gung-Ho - Team Leader & Grenadier Pathfinder - Ast Team Leader & Heavy Machine Gunner (also a pathfinder on airborne insertions) Recondo - Scout/Sniper Muskrat - Pointman SEAL Team Torpedo - Team Leader Shipwreck - Ast Team Leader Tracker Wet Suit Also, just to be clear, the term "Scout/Sniper" is an official term in the USMC. That's an actual job: Marine Scout/Sniper. The school at Quantico is called "Scout/Sniper" training.

To touch back on an earlier topic, I just wanted to ask how many of you guys use international figures/characters?
If so, how do you use them? For example, I'm trying to get Urzor. He's officially listed as a villain, but I will use him as a Machine Gunner for my regular Army Ranger detachment. I also have Tiger Force Outback and Tiger Force Tunnel Rat. What about y'all?

Well, maybe not according to Hasbro or filecards, but I've designated Recondo v2 as a sniper for this mission. He just has that quality about him. I think he'd make a great sharpshooter when other snipers are unavailable.

Basically I want:
Airborne Insertion/Rescue (these guys are the helicopter assault troopers and the ones sent in behind the lines to rescue people) Recon Assault (Infantry, Marines & Artillary) Special Ops (SEaLs, Rangers) Arctic (would include some ad hoc depending on mission) Desert Recon/Assault and Special Ops would be divided into teams stationed around (based on speciality, Jungle being the obvious one). Intelligence/Covert Ops SWAT/Hostage Rescue

Makes total sense to me. Recondo was always doing solo operations down in Sierra Gordo. Seems like a sniper rifle would come in REALLY handy down there for those kind of operations.

I've been spending money, lol
The hard part is trying to decide if just RAH, Modern or combination of both. I'll probably do RAH and a Modern version as well. I think I'll combine Special Ops and Recon, as they would share alot of the same personal. The idea is that there could be multiple missions being run at the same time.

Slightly off topic here, but thinking back to our earlier discussions about new convention figures, I think that a team of PJs would be a great idea. What joes would you like to see recast for this role. I think Lifeline would be perfect; he needs to be more active and have a cooler uniform. Hit N Run and Alpine come immediately to mind because of their rappelling and fastrope skills and mt. expertise. Hmmm...who else?
Also, what about uniforms? Should it be the desert tan with olive web gear or something new? Perhaps a gray & white camo scheme? |

I thought I'd chime in briefly as to the whole organization/team thing - I bought very few of the subteams when I was growing up, and then it was mostly to replace a figure or vehicle that had broken (Flint, for instance). I never really divided my Joes into subteams on anything other than a mission-specific basis (that's what they did in the comics, and I used those as my model). So basically I think it's interesting what you guys do and cool as something to think about in the future, but I don't really have much to contribute.

I know I keep repeating this, but I'm an O-Ring man.
They're cheaper. They're more durable. Their arms don't fall apart. They fit in all the vehicles. They're not hard to customize. They're classic. They're cheaper.
