Marauder,Battlemaster, Warhammer, Rifleman
Willie Roberts
Whatever happened to these guys bout the lawsuit or whatever. I was really
hoping to use the hammer and the rifleman in mercs but to my shock they weren't
in there. I thought the rifleman would be a good mech to customize with the
large lasers and the ac's.

The bad news is that FASA got tired of getting (wrongfully) sued by
other companies over them, so pulled them out of the game.
The GOOD news is that the next major release of NAIS shell will let
you play them anyway. (Check out http://nais.annex.com/mercs.html for
our pseudo-marauder...) We'll also have some completely new (from
scratch) mech designs for ya to play with...
Happy Holidays!
