Woops! I just realized that you meant WHICH JOES GO TO WHICH BASE, not WHICH BASE GOES TO WHICH ENVIRONMENT....

Well, my basic rule is if they have camoflauge or clothing that speaks to a certain location, that's the first way to narrow it down (obviously Repeater looks at home in the desert). Then I go into character profiles from either Sunbow and/or Marvel and/or the file cards - i.e. Flint being my Europe head of G.I. Joe so to speak. Then if there still is fuzziness after camo and background, I go for just a gut feeling of where someone would work best for my Joe-verse or character-chemistry with other pre-established "givens" for a specific location.

It can be a little tricky, because Stalker for instance works good in trhe arctic in his 1989 Tundra uniform, he works well in urban envionments with Shockwave what with his Detroit background, and of course he works well with the O-13. So, it's tough to assign him to just ONE place.

But these are fun problems to have. It's nice being "in charge" of all of them though - since, in real life WE are usually the ones with just LIMITED control over things. I guess that why we have Jo-verses....
