Thanks! Quote:

I'm also really digging the unit history and overall chronological timeline. Although the direct built-in emotional punch of Vietnam isn't there, you've still framed the team around American military and intelligence operational failures and the resulting massive fallouts, so the parallels are still there.

I finally read the updated Org doc. If I remember it's a little more concise than the last version since it doesn't have the names of each individual for each position. Although I kind of liked that as well as it sort of made it more tangible since we know who goes where. Still I like the new outline as it gives us the structure and the why and the what the teams do.
Maybe when you add the filecards you can break them off into sections basically following the outline you have now. That way the reader can see who goes where. Or alphbetically, but It's cool to see which members are on which teams.

While its definitely truer to the original look I'm not crazy about your change to Topside. Yes, I realize I'm biased but I think your first image and having him on the VBSS Team was much better. This one looks too skinny and that goatee is cheesy.
This Gung Ho is all kinds of awesome. EDIT: Got rid of Topside's goatee Yup, that's what I'm planning to do with one of the appendices for the document. Last edited by zuludelta; 04-07-2010 at 05:21 AM.. |

Here are sample pages from the appendix I'm working (which lists the filecards according to the order of battle). This took me a lot longer than I thought it would, because of the amount of work that went into making sure that their pre-GIJOE deployment histories sync up with real world events and their pre-GIJOE unit assignments.
Let me know what you guys think. Last edited by zuludelta; 04-08-2010 at 07:38 PM.. |

I was wondering what you were up to, z. Time well spent, I'd say. It seems like some things have changed from the last roster update, but it looks good to me.
An interesting side note about your Clutch image. There's a good bit of irony going on in light of the revelations of Jesse James' recent activities. Some of it matches up closely with what you imagine Clutch is like in terms of the womanizing. Then there's the pictures of James in Nazi regalia, which would be disgusting to a jewish man like Steinberg. |

Awesome work Z. Love the filecards.
Was that gun always on the Clutch image?

Yeah I just noticed the gun on Clutch too. Nice touch, it looks good.
Love the filecards. Character Role/Title is key. Totally whetted my appetite for more. What is ES Level V equaivalent to? 0-7 or 0-10? I imagine It's got to be hard to keep from being too cheesey, particularly with what they may do outside of military life. But I figure 85% of the Joes enlisted out of High-School or College, so most of their misc. stuff will be military related, as they would never have left military service. Still It's nice to see a real side to them. Like Sports statistics is Courage's thing. I'm sure plenty of Joe euthusiasts have worked, do work, or family member works for Fedex like Stormer. (Or they just love seeing him deliver packages) My favorite: Stormer. Operation Bright Star is a nice touch. A real world event/accomplishment. I had to look it up. Still all the background info is amazing. How do you keep all those operations straight? You're like a walking encyclopedia of US military operations. I assume you'll run into a point where various Joes will have participated in the same operation. Still there are so many units in the military these guys may never cross paths. But I assume with you, some will and you would have done it on purpose. They're figgin perfect Z. They got everything I would love to know about a character. Do you get rid of Austin? I thought he was Deputy Director.
