Credit's all yours for this. I was the guy who had a Crimson Guard in my game 
(though it was an NPC, not a PC), but, to tell the truth, I never got around 
to doing much else with them, although I will be using an old Cobra base in an 
upcoming adventure (having found out there is a city-sized Springfield a few 
states over from the PCs'home state of Colorado).

I think that was it too. I always like the Russian group. Shame they killed 
them almost all off later. In my game I avoided the, um, funkier stuff, like 
Mindbender, Cobra-La, et cetera, but I do have Hexagram Ninjas (had to, what 
with the hexagram - hex word similarity). I may have to include more as I get 
back to running the game again.

They are re-showing the GI Joe series on the Comedy Network, I've heard, so it 
might be a good time. I love the C&C games and would happily buy a GI Joe 
version, provided it was of at least their normal quality level.

"As I look back, I see that it had been a mistake to send the letter. If you look far enough back, you will find that everything starts at some minor point. Something small becomes something very big. Something simple becomes complex. A brief moment of time becomes the focus of a tragedy. The letter was the minor point - something of no consequence that became the start of something of... importance." - Paul Thorgrimson, 'River of Blood, Path to Ruin,' October 2001
