Volga:
File Name: Janack, Daina L. SN: Classified Grade: Lieutenant (equivalent) Birthplace: Ostrava, Czechoslovakia Primary Specialty: Small Arms Specialist Secondary Specialty: Helicopter Pilot VOLGA is the lone female OKTOBER GUARD team, and her team-mates often make the mistake of underestimating her skills. So have her adversaries. This has proven to be highly detrimental to the forces of COBRA and others that have challenged the Oktober Guard. Volga is a skilled tactician, second only to Colonel Brekhov himself, a world-class sniper, and a helipcopter pilot of considerable talent. Her personality is somewhat of a mystery. She has a surprising sense of humor, but in the midst of a conflict, is all business. Her deepest commitment is to the team. She doesn't care if she has to sneak or fly to the battlefield, or stand on ridge away from it with a long-range weapon, as long as she does her part. FROM COLONEL BREKHOV'S FILES: "I'm never sure what to make of Volga. I've never liked the idea of women in combat in the first place. If it had been up to me, Volga would fly us to the mission and then leave. But how do you tell someone not to fight who's so good at it?" Daina: File Name: Classified Grade: Lieutenant (лейтена́нт) Birthplace: Prague, Czechoslovakia Primary Specialty: Marksman Secondary Specialty: Helicopter Pilot Motto: "You want charm, go somewhere else. I'm here to fight, and to win." DAINA is an expert marksman in the OKTOBER GUARD and its only female member. Known for her chronically bad temper, DAINA is also the most tactically intelligent member next to COLONEL BREKHOV, and often takes the role of second in command. Her rough edge is tempered by her coolness in the field, when patience and silence are essential to achieving a hit on her target and completing the mission. As the only woman in the group, DAINA feels compelled to do twice as much to prove that she deserves a place on the OKTOBER GUARD team. She is multi-talented and can pilot any vehicle in the Soviet arsenal. She is also exceptionally skilled with all Warsaw Pact weapons, but her favorite is the SVD, or Snaiperskaya Vintovka Dragunova (Dragonuv sniper rifle). Their name is both Daina. They are both Lieutennants borne in Prague. They are both Marksmen Helicopter Pilots. They are both the ONLY female member of the Oktober Guard. This was elaborated on in the DDP comics where when the Oktober Guard was eventually disbanted, Daina joined the Joes with the code name of Volga. |

And have you ever seen Daina and Volga together? I haven't. Case closed.

A few points:
1. Daina's ddp code name was vorona, not Volga. 2. It would negate classifying her file name if she was using it as a code name. 3. "Only" and "lone" do not mean only ever. Brekov was the lone commander of the October Guard, but not the only one ever. 4. There are inconsistencies in the file cards. 5. If we rule that similar characters are the same, does that make double blast road block?

Add Coldfront because he's from bourbon country. Add Ozone because someone has to fight for the planet.

Holding my vote. Add Hollingsworth and Overkill (Cyborg).
Diana and Vorona are the same person. Wasn't the club writing those Filecards during those first years back?

If we rule that similar characters are the same, does that make double blast road block? There's really 4 points there. 1) I had to google this, but you're quite right. I malappropriated that. apologies. that said 2) Multiple Joes have had their file names classified on some versions and public on others. The logic is utterly inconsistent. Also, within the Oktober Guard, Colonol Brekhov's file card lists his "code name" the same as his "file name" of Breckhov. (Also See Flagg, Rey and others). So this is not an exclusion category. 3) Only does imply that it is singular. Only serving, or only active, I could buy implying different characters. Now admittedly this is phrasing and interpretation which is vague, but it seems to be the intention for them to be the same. 4) There are inconsistencies in the file cards, most notably how she works with Breckhov being essentially opposite between the two. However, if you read all the various Duke or Hawk file Cards, there are numerous issues with those for consistency. There's more than "similarity" - same name, rank, birthplace, occupation, and gender? I went through the spreadsheet of file cards I have (Don't ask) as not a single American release pair of figures share a Birthplace, rank and military specialty. My suspicion is that Volga was intended |
