Yeah baby.

Man, I love how in CSW there's a whole bunch of people with relatively normal names, then you end up with 'Fulvio Dante' and 'Samantha Savage' and 'Alexis Starr'. While these names are not spectacularly audacious, they are extra cool. :)

Have you retconned the SOLIDSIX? The article for them lists Alexis Starr as a member. While this new Who's who, replaces her with Comrade Hammer.
Ah Brother! It's been too long!

Oh dear, you're right, looks like I got confused there for a moment. Edited and corrected.

I like Kiralova spurning Helene Skye to fight the Secret War. Man, all these womens filling the estrogen-stained seats of the Kremlin and the White House, we totally do need a Fulvio Dante being all creepy Italian pervert in the WEU. And Burlesconi (sp?). And those creepy Germanian magnificent bastards who'll reunite Germany in a situation that's totally NOT like real-life because CSW's gone round the bend now that it ain't Your Daddy's Cold War. :twisted:
