On the subject of Virushi ... They appeared in a JTAS (somewhere around
issue 13 I think). Think of a rhino with a bald gorilla's torso and head
attached to its shoulders. The whole thing weighs about 4 tonnes but is
totally peaceful (this was because no other creature in its environment
was able to damage it). They might be interesting to play - very difficult
to injure, disarming opponents with a little lecture on the benefits of
being nice to people. If anyone wants a copy of the article, let me know
and I can email it to them (that doesn't break GDW copyright does it?).
Mercenaries ... I'm in the process of doing some costings for a typical
TL10 merc company (salaries, equipment maintenance etc) and comparing it
to costs of indigenous troops. I should have it done by Monday. Would a
group of mercs do a bank job anyway? It seems a long way to travel (from
off-world) to spend 20 minutes sticking up a bank. Look at it this way: a
merc private gets about Cr300 a month - that's about Cr .25 for a half-hour
bank raid. And then you've all the hassle of moving the troops offworld ...
