Esta regla "adicional" o "especial" para eventos, nos permite que pagando un (1) CAP, se puedan agregar hasta 75 puntos (con sus CAP respectivos) de tropas mercenarias, sin importar que no estén disponibles para el sectorial o facción en cuestión, claro que sin repetir personajes únicos como El Señor Massacre, McMurrough, Valerya Gromoz, etc.
This additional rule for events, allow us to add to our list 75 points (with the respective SWC) of mercenary troops adding one (1) SWC, no matter if they're or not available for your own faction but not being able to duplicate any unique characters like Señor Massacre, McMurrough, Valerya Gromoz, etc.

¿Qué hay disponible entonces pagando este coste adicional (adicional a lo que ya contamos en Corregidor)?
What is available for this additional cost (not including Corregidor Mercenaries of course)?
En la categoría de pesos pesados, tenemos dos TAG: Scarface & Cordelia (Regular), y el escuadrón Anaconda (Regular).
In the "Big Size Guys" Category, we have two TAG: Scarface & Cordelia (Regular), and Anaconda Squad (Regular).
En la categoría de personajes, contamos con las siguientes personalidades:
In the character category, we have the next personalities:
- Saito Togan (Regular)
- Miyamoto Mushashi (Irregular)
- Miranda Ashcroft (Irregular)
- Lucien Sforza (Irregular)
- Armand 'Le Muet' (Regular)
- Yojimbo (Irregular, E.Impetuous)
- Avicena (Regular)
- Knauf (Regular)
- Major Lunah (Regular)
En la categoría de mercenarios "sin nombre", contamos con:
- Bounty Hunters (Irregular, AVA 3)
- Cube Jäger (Irregular, AVA 1)
- Yuan Yuan (Irregular, E. Impetuous, AVA 4)
- Wardrivers (Regular, AVA 1)
- CSU (Regular, AVA 1)
- Kaplan Tactical Service (Regular, AVA 3)
- Druze Shock Teams (Regular, AVA 2)
- Bashi Bazouks (Irregular, AVA 2)
- Highlander Cateran (Irregular, AVA 1)
- Kempeitai (Irregular, AVA 1)
- Krakot Renegades (Regular, Impetuous, AVA 2)
- Warcors (Irregular, AVA 2)
La lista es grande pero... ¿Qué nos suple carencias en Corregidor? Entre las principales carencias, a mi parecer, para Corregidor son el TO y la Cadena de Mando. La Cadena de Mando no viene en ningún mercenario así que solo nos queda algo TO. Para esto tendríamos a Saito Togan, el cual nos costaría 1 CAP (Por la regla) y 39 puntos, lo cual no lo hace una opción "tan cara" y que podría embonar bien en Corregidor por sus granadas de humo.
The list is big but... What helps us with our weaknesses in Corregidor? Between our main weaknesses, I consider two: Chain of Command and TO. Chain of Command is not available between these expendables but there is a TO option: Saito Togan, also he has Smoke Grenades and a very funny EXP CC Weapon so he fits in our game style, jajaja. The cost will be 1 SWC and 39 points so it's not so "expensive".

En lo personal, me llama la atención usar Yuan Yuans, sería algo "divertido". De igual manera Yojimbo podría ser también una opción de movilidad interesante y quizás podría ser una versión alternativa a McMurrough.
Personally, I am tempted to use Yuan Yuans because will be fucking fun. In the same way, Yojimbo also looks like an interesting option, an alternative for McMurrough.
Alguien a quien veremos mucho en las mesas quizás sea Aviccena, pues pagar 1 CAP y 27 puntos por un doctor con VOL 15, es algo bastante tentador.
Someone who we'll be seeing a lot in the tables is Aviccena because with only 1 SWC and 27 points we get a WIP 15 Doctor Plus.

Algo que también podría ser curioso y quizás más benéfico para otras facciones que para Corregidor, sería meter 2 Warcors, dos ordenes irregulares, cierto pero dos ORAs bastante incómodas para el enemigo. Aquí quizás PanO podría beneficiarse con Juana y su Liderazgo pero quizás no valga tanto la pena... o quizás si. Quien creo yo que se beneficiaría más con esta regla sería Ariadna pues podría tener acceso a más Hackers, más tropas con armamento que no tiene y a TAGs.
Something that would be interesting, and maybe more beneficial for other factions than Corregidor, would be adding 2 more warcors: two additional irregular orders that allow us to have 2 ARO-Flash Pulse-Pain in the Ass. For PanO and with Joan, you will get two regular orders being more lucrative than for other factions. Maybe the faction that will enjoy more this "extra" would be Ariadna because they will have access to many weapons and technology that they normally do not have. For example, in Show of Force and Looting and Sabotaging they could have access to a TAG so they will not be at a disadvantage.

Quizás esta regla da más para la parte de historia y trasfondo porque podrían hacerse eventos temáticos donde obliguen el uso de la regla dado que son "operaciones encubiertas".
Also, maybe this rule will help more for the fluff, making thematic events more interesting: "undercover operations with expendables".
¿Y ustedes que opinan, qué mercenarios meterían y en qué listas o para que misiones?
So, what do you think? Which mercenaries would you like to have in your lists and for which missions?

Nos vemos en el espacio, cabezas de meteorito!
See you in the space, meteorheads!
I'm very sad you can't dual fire team Mercenary Druze, otherwise I'd be tempted to be running a Killer Hacker / Spitfire up the field.
ResponderBorrarI'm also very tempted by KPS, as Mimetism with Suppressive Fire in the midfield has the potential to be excellent.
A T2 Highlander Cateran would be gold by "pretending" to be an Intruder against a White Noise heavy list.
Hey, that T2 surprise would be amazing! And if the Mercenary profile of the Druze is updated when the new models arrive, maybe it could be possible!
BorrarYeah, I'm really hoping for an updated Druze profile.
