Carni is fine. :)<br/><br/>I have a feeling that Samuel may be a little more 'covert' than Etienne, based on Samuel's 'Iron Monkey' and Phoenix Program experience. Also possibly more of a combatsman since he didn't spend most of his career lugging a radio over hill and dale. :) They both seem to be good translators/liaisons, with local contacts that will hopefully come in handy!<br/><br/>I should have read Athos' character more closely. They're so similar that they might've already met (If you'd like, Athos) in a few places (Normandy, and the hand-off of the Hmong<em>montagnard</em>bands from French control to American during Operation Hotfoot)! I suppose it's a symptom of us both having similar character ideas (existing connections to insurgents in Laos, old grognards 'retired' to a combat liaison/agent mode) and the same historic period which made certain major events stand out. That and me failing to do more than quickly skim the other characters and decide to do an old soldier from the French-Indochina period since I didn't see anyone else...  D'oh! :)
