Wolverines (Red Dawn 1984)

The Wolverines were a group of 7 high school students turned gureilla fighters in an effort to stop a joint Soviet-Latin American attack in their small Colarado town.

History
Originally a group of high school kids, the Wolverines formed soon after a joint Soviet-Latin American invasion of their small Colarado town. As they fled town they evaluated the situation and after looking what has become of the town after a few weeks of Communist occupation, they decide to fight against it. Starting with small raids and sabatoges they started taking on more challanging objectives as their experiance grew and the efforts to stop them grew as well. They opposed for many months and gradually lost some of their members. In a final battle between the invaders and the Wolverines, they managed to wipe out many Communist forces but in the end nearly all of the Wolverines were dead. Their efforts were rememberd through the rest of the war as Americans everywhere used their example to fight agianst the invaders.

Skill
They have very minimal training and had to learn most of their skills while fighting off the Communist forces. Although they were tough, they still had difficulites fighting such a large force and almost always used guerilla tactics. Their determination to fight off the invaders and their sheer urge for freedom gave them a big edge and though they didn't have much in the way of experiance, they had a lot in the way of will. Overall they are good fighters although they do not have very much skill or expertise.
