I'm only in the planning stages right now but something that was mentioned in the "what secrets lurk in the filecards?" thread got me thinking about customizing a Visit, Board, Search & Siezure team for the Joes. I only collect vintage joes so it would be mostly repaints of figures i have doubles of with some "as issued" guys to round it out.
They operate off of the Flagg and get a Joe Moray hydrofoil and a Tomahawk. Tomahawk would carry four boarders ("Dirk", "Cutlass", "Axe" & "Pike") who would fast rope onto the ship and the fifth team member ("Topsail") would stay aloft providing sniper support. Moray would have Cutter & Shipwreck in the seats, Topside in the turret, '04 Torpedo & "Sabre" in the front hatches and Wet Down as the diver/ rescue swimmer. Thoughts? |

Awesome. Great use of the Moray and Tomahawk. I like it alot.
Maybe put someone in a Piranha (the old ffast attack boat) for fire support and to "soften up" the target before the Moray and the board team arrives? Also thinking if anyone on the boat tries to escape, the Piranha could take 'em down.

Also thinking if anyone on the boat tries to escape, the Piranha could take 'em down. i was thinking about this some more over the weekend and i figure if i'm going to have a vbss team then there has to be something for them to vbss. i've been trying to figure out how to tie Destro & the IGs into the Cobra Island layout i want to build and was thinking simultaneous invasion w/ the joes like in the marvel comic. but now i'm inclined to have a MARS freighter making a delivery to cobra island and the joes intercept it. could use your idea of piranhas only have them be support for freighter escort morays. maybe give vbss some devilfish. |

I love me some Devilfish, so yeah, go for those for support and escort.
Could repaint the Piranhas for use as IG-escort boats.
