I have lots of filecards and full back cards. I like to read them, since they were interesting, but that didn't fully capture all of the activity these figures did.

I too had a quandry that Master Sergeant Hauser was bossing around officers, but I reconciled this as a team effort. Conrad liked bossing people around, got his orders from Hawk, who ranked higher than most of the operations folks. The operations folks were busy doing their job, and Duke was bossy, but they collected a bigger paycheck, so they just let him say his piece. At the end of the day, if Cobra was down, everyone was cool with it.

The one thing that I'm teaching my boys is the difference between the toy they are holding and the person holding the toy. We can have a great battle and we all win because we had fun playing. It doesn't matter if our vehicle and driver were destroyed or victorious, as long as we played well and didn't yell at one another (I don't yell, but they are 6 and 3, so that's a work in progress). The 6 year old still likes "his" forces to "win." I keep reminding them, this is all imagination, and it doesn't reflect on them as people what happens during a play adventure. The 3 year old doesn't care if you are playing with him, or he is playing by himself, he just has fun.

I strayed a bit from the topic again...
