I'd like to get more guys on my team. The current trio I have seems to be getting the job done though. Duke is kicking everyone's ass.

So who does everyone have on their team? Flint is my leader, with Falcon and Gung Ho as the other two active members, then I've got Ripcord, Ambush, and Bullhorn as my three reserves.

Does everybody start off with Falcon?

I think everyone does start off with Falcon.

I have Flint as my leader, with Falcon and Renegades Duke as my other main team members. I have (Renegades? City Strike?) Snake Eyes, Outback, and somebody else as my reserves.

I laugh at how badly Snake Eyes did when I had him with the main group - he'd almost always get killed immediately. Bug in the game, I guess.

For some reason I've had Metalhead on my team for a while. He's got a healing ability for some reason that's been useful. Some of the skills seem totally arbitrarily assigned. My other Cobra front liners are Baroness, Destro and that stupid Storm Shadow I got. The Dreadnoks seem to be really strong characters too. My Joe team is Flint, Lady J, Shipwreck and Snake Eyes.

My team is Cobra Commander, a rare Crimson Guard (that is disproportionately strong), and a rare Firefly (sideshow art). I'm mainly playing for the art. Not the most engaging game, and I hate the "stamina points" game dynamic. And am I wrong, or is the only way to get "battle coins" to buy them with real money?

I didn't get any of the pre-registration cards. I also don't really get the point of the game, or think it's all that fun, but I play it anyway.

I only have six different Joe cards. I seem to get the same ones almost constantly when I do a recruit thing. I don't understand why Capt Grid Iron's special is some suplex...he's a football player, not a wrestler.

Finally saw a promo for this in the July issue of the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club Magazine.

I don't own any sort of mobile device, and I'm seriously awful at video games, so there's not a lot there for me as far as the game is concerned, but I AM pleased that an effort is being put forth to produce such a game and get G.I. Joe into the mobile world like this.

What I would like to address is that the full-page promotional piece in the magazine featured a couple of REALLY nice fully painted images of Duke and Cobra Commander. Don't know who did the work, but somebody ought to release posters of them.

I saved up my recruite points and used them in groups of ten and got a couple of the rare cards that way. Saved up about 30 in bronze points and 20 in silver.

For my Cobra squad Baroness is leader, then Zarana(rare), Crimsin Guard(rare), Storm Shadow(sign up rare). Back unit is Crystal Ball, Mindbender(rare), Firefly(rare), Metal Head. For Joe's it's Scarlett leader, General Hawk(rare), Lt. Falcon(rare), Jinx(rare). Back row is Gung Ho, Lifeline, Low Light, and Quick Kick.

There doesn't seem to be any method to the recruitment madness. Silver tokens always get me common crappy characters that I already have ten of, but I get frequent rares with the bronze tokens.

Figuring out who other players are is confusing. The IDs are different than the user names, so it's hard to recognize if I might already know someone who requests to be my ally.

I've got Snake Eyes leading my Joe Team, with Falcon, Flint, and Gen. Hawk as the first string. Hawk can call in the SkyHawk, which I enjoy for some reason, and he's also great at upping everyone's abilities by "planning ahead" occasionally.

It took a little while for me to figure out that upgrading characters through trading in unwanted cards isn't the same as leveling up in battle. Instead, it makes their special moves more powerful.

Love the variety of artwork. Overkill is one of my favorite cards so far. I have yet to battle many dreadlocks or BATS. Played levels in Russia an North Afrika.

In PvP, what's the difference between a "standard" battle and "all out"?

BTW, I got to add a fourth man to my team. Ripcord has now joined us on the front line.

I think that "all out" gives your team a higher stat boost in the fight, but I'm not sure since I've never used it.

Has anybody actually paid money for anything yet? Real cash money?

No. And I won't either. Game isn't enough fun for that. But it looks like that means a whole ton of characters are unavailable.
