One thing to remember is that Po was far from being the most deadly combatant among the PCs and major allied NPCs. He was a decent shot and was pretty good at Wing Chun but there were other PCs that were much bigger, scarier, better shots or just all-round more deadly. Po's most scary combat asset was his brain. And a built in machiavellian ruthlessness that I simultaneously admired and despised.

Targan,

Sure, that's why he's the "Angel of Death" and not "Rambo" or "Audie Murphy". The Doctor thing fits, too.

I'll have to take a closer look at White Eagle, I ran Black Madonna some 25 years ago and it would be interesting to have a look at the aftermath.

Tony

I agree with the idea that some colonel rolling into town with B/1-116th is unlikely to get a very warm reception unless he makes it real clear real quick that he's not looking to take charge. I like the idea of one senior NCO to another discretely laying down the law. I also agree with the idea of being able to use the encounter with B/1-116 as a way to inject a couple new PCs (or NPCs) into the group.

Interesting possible angle would be CPT Warren having to work to restrain overly dedicated subordinates who decide to try and off the colonel, while not necessarily having any interest in giving up her command.
