In my Cobra world. They Vipers are more of USMC Recon force other times they are the front line first wave of attack and the Blue Shirts are more regular ground troops, secondary reinforcements, they also man the cobra stations and bases. |

Even though the Viper effectively replaced the Trooper in every forum (cartoon, comics, advertisements) you did ocassionally see a Trooper here and there (Cobra Civil War) so... I dunno. Maybe some guys didn't want to turn in their uniforms. XD One of the best 'compromise' ideas I ever heard was that the Trooper uniform became a garisson uniform while the Viper was an assault/expiditionary outfit. Tom

That's the way I used them. Support units, etc.

ok, more information... and i'm kinda upset that htere is not more activity on this thread... i been dreaming about this for the past few days...
so Cobra Island is roughly 5 miles in diameter... St marteen is about 6 miles wide (37,000 inhabitants) and Saint Bartz is about 5 miles wide (8000 inhabitants) St Bartz, despite its celebrety draw, is barely built up... it is mostly mountainess. I would say that this is more closely (even in shape) related to Cobra Island. Yes i know that inhabitants means (all people, even civilians), but this give you an idea of how many people would be on a sparsly populated island. HTer eis one hospital on St Bartz, and it takes a while to get to, the staff takes a lunch hour, the waiting room is actually OUTSIDE... as we know, there is a hospital on Cobra Island... also there is a small airstrip on Cobra island. there is a SMALL airstrip on St Bartz... you cannot land a commercial jet... Hell, you cannot even land a private jet... only puddle jumpers... and that is only if you kill the engine... and dive over the mountain... anyway... we knwo that cobra island is flat except the treturious mountian... so i am going to go with 4,000 - 5,000 troops on cobra island... (With more spread around the world)... now, being that the UN will not allow GIJOE to fly into Cobra Island Airspace... we can assume that CC, places a LARGE % of his troops on this island... What do you guys think? |

with the information above, we can look at the other cobra strong holds (some are AFTER and BEFORE Cobra Island, so we have to make sure that we dont count them twice...) then figure out how many people would be on each, then estimate the total...

check this out... unless my math is wrong
26,000 feet is 5 miles (the size of Cobra Island (CI)) take a 6 foot man laying head to foot would take 4400 men to stretch 5 miles... so take 4400 figures at 3.75" that adds up to 16,600 inches there are 1375 feet in 16,600 inches. there are 3 feet in a yard... so thats 458 yards So a scale model of Cobra Island would be 4.5 Football field... thats a hell of a battle field... seems big tho... did i miss something..? |
