Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Herr Fuchs
Card: MI #018 (Rare)
Points: 6
Faction: Mercenary

Link : Hephaestus
Keyword: Expatriate
Ability: This ship may move and shoot using the same move action. Once per turn, one of this ship’s cannons may shoot again if it misses.

Herr Fuchs is a combination Captain and Cannoneer. He costs a point more than those two, but saves a cargo space, so he's a fair deal. You definitely want to put him on a fighting ship.

The Hephaestus, Fuchs' linked ship, is such a fighter, with 2-rank cannons and a good ability. Too bad she's so slow; the battle will be over by the time she gets there. You want Fuchs in the thick of the action, where he can use both his abilities in almost every turn. That means a fast fighting ship. As an Expatriate, Fuchs can serve on any ship, not just the Mercs, so consider putting him on a speedy French or Pirate ship when he goes out looking for trouble.

Total rating: 4 / 5

Name: Nikos Chelios
Card: MI #021 (Common)
Points: 5
Faction: Mercenary

Link : Fathom
Keyword: Expatriate
Ability: Once per turn, this ship may randomly take two treasure from any ship she touches.

"With shipping companies spread across the globe, the richest man in Greece" sounds a lot like Aristotle Onassis. His ability to double-rob an enemy has no equal in any other ship or crew that I know of.

To use him, you want a fast ship with room for lots of treasure, preferably a Schooner so she can pivot to touch the enemy ship without ramming and getting pinned. Spain's La Santa Isabel would be a good choice, and as an Expatriate, Chelios can serve on her.

The Fathom, Chelios' linked ship, would not be a very good choice. Her cargo is there, but her speed is not, and since a Submarine can't touch an enemy ship without surfacing and becoming vulnerable, Chelios' ability would not get many chances to come into play.

With a little luck, Nikos Chelios could pay for himself in one cruise. But luck guarantees nothing; he might spend the whole game chasing gold ships but never catching them. I have to give him average marks.

Total rating: 3 / 5
