Tiger Force
Desert Patrol Squad - I add the Anti-Venom Task Force (they look like Desert troops).
Night Force (& Ghost Squad)
Sky Patrol
Slaughter's Marauders
Steel Brigade
Now, before I explain how they all work (roster questions), let me explain Ghost Squad.
When the TRU Night Force 6-pack came out in 2005, there were some prototype figures made and they have sometimes found their way onto ebay - they're very rare; I have the whole set.
These prototype figures have a slightly different paint job on their pants, and one other exception: There is no Action Man. Rather, it was Night Force Tracker. That's right. Tracker: the Navy SEAL with the great file card and one of the worst uniforms ever... well, this prototype figure fixed that.
So this alternate version of Night Force that I found on ebay has become my Ghost Squad - the unit that doesn't really exist. It's not an official unit, and so I use it for unofficial missions.
OK you left out the crap ones like Star Brigade? Eco-Warriors, and BF 2000? No offense to those who like it.
I'm thinking of rolling in some of the BF 2000 guys into my Steel Brigade Heavy weapons team. But this is a bigger project for later.
So is Ghost Squad only 6 guys? Is it the same as the night force 6 pack just the vastly improved Tracker? So:
Flint
Roadblock
Short-Fuze
Beachhead
Tracker
Tunnel Rat?
Are there more guys?
Do you have Action Man? (I use him a British Operative.)
Do they just pull guys for Ghost Squad for mission specific ops? Are the permanent members only?
Short-Fuze seems like the odd man out here, does he have another role as more of an engineer than a Mortar man? Do you bump him up in credentials? Like SF engineer?
Like What team is Roadblock, Beachhead, Stalker, Gung-Ho, Grunt, Wild Bill and Dusty on? Those are the ones that make it confusing.
Oh yeah what role does Slaughter's Maruaders play? Training?
Do you rename the European Tiger Force Guys?
