I was wondering if anyone has organized the Joes by Role or Function and if that is posted anywhere. I am organizing my Joes into Fire Teams and customizing them to a particular theme but want to distribute people by function or role and not just what I think is cool.
So I want each team to have a communications person, a sharpshooter, heavy gunner, riflemen, etc. Thinking teams of 4-6 but we'll see. Anyone know of anything out there for reference? |

Thanks for the links. I was more looking for the function or role of the actual Joes so I can organize them into teams. Examples:
Dialtone - Communications Gung Ho - Grenadier Lowlight - Sniper |

I've tried before but it starts breaking down REAL quick because of the types of figures gotten. Heavy on infantry and heavy weapons, light on communications, for example.
Then do you mix the Marines with the SEaLs with the Army? Do the Special Forces (green berets) get integrated or seperated? End up needing to create a lot of characters to fill the gaps. Look in this thread: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...filecards.html We've spent a lot of time breaking down the Joes by funtion and there are a lot of good set-ups listed. Instead of poking through, just post and ask this question and how others have set-up their Joes.

There's also alot of room for interpretation.
Spirit is a tracker, does he belong with the recon team or would he be a rifleman?

And if you create environment squads, like Arctic, how would you use Iceberg? Nothing in his filecard has him as a machine gunner/heavy weapons, but he came with a machine gun, so would he fill that role?

Snipers/sharpshooters are: Low-Light, Crosshair and Hollowpoint
Surefire's card says he's a qualified sharpshooter but he's primarily CID so wouldn't be part of a fireteam. Scarlett is a qualified sharpshooter. Retaliation gave us Mouse Hollowpoint is a Marine, so really should be with the Marine unit. So that's only 3 snipers. But snipers aren't really part of a fireteam. There are designated marksmen but snipers like Low-Light and Crosshair would be part of a sniper/spotter team.

And do you treat the Joe Rangers as a seperate unit?
Where do the Mortarmen (there are only 2) fit in? The EOD guys (Tripwire, Lightfoot, Tunnel Rat).

once a soldier, marine, etc becomes a joe the line distinguishing them from each other is erased. A joe is a joe...they are all their own unit. Creating joe "fire teams" is the start of attempting to take a small elite unit and applying "big army" processes. Joes form teams based on assignments, further, joes are capable of serving in more than one role so Scarlett for example on one assignment could carry the long gun and run overwatch...and the next be communications/intel.
