Hey guys, just a little question. It dawned on me that I don't have the Mercs PDF so I located the link here and went to download it. But because it's on the shop it's asking for me address and stuff which seems unnecessary so am I doing this wrong? Should I be using a different link that goes straight to download maybe?

Ah cool, thanks for the reply. I'll go ahead and download then, I just had the feeling I was doing something wrong.

Looks great. One thing I noticed:
Tactical and Heroic Activation doesn't always require a target. Also it may be worth clarifying who you make your rolls against, if you are using the skill on a friendly unit then you need to use a TD or the enemy's highest KE or CM.

(Note that for Reserves entering the battlefield its the highest enemy KE/CM)

Is that an update for the next rulebook or am I not understand the current one? I'm reading from page 15.

The rules that I discuss, for the most part, are purposefully left just clear enough to give you an idea. I don't have explicit permission from OTL to post exact things from the Rulebook. There are plenty of points where I was like, "this is too close to the rulebook, gotta vague it up a bit."

Ah okay fair enough. Vague away!

Are you and Matt blatantly telling me opposing rules clarifications as part of some evil game to confuse me or am I just really dim?

Aha, okay.
