Frier's Fusiliers Introduction |
Back to Top |
Warrant Officer Frier was a sniper in the recon
platoon of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
After mustering out, he discovered his skills as a
combat-experienced sniper were in high demand, but
that many mercenary units were too conventional in
mindset to employ him effectively. One night, over
beers with several other freelance snipers the idea
for the Fusiliers was born. Elected to command of the
small unit, Frier named the unit in honor of his old
regiment. Only experienced sniper teams (sniper and
spotter) who had worked together in combat were
accepted, and most of them were recruited from former
NAC light infantrymen. The Fusiliers are rarely hired
directly, usually acting as subcontractors for other
mercenary units who do not have effective or adequate
sniper assets. Frier has been offered several
contracts that are equivelant to assasinations, but
has turned all such offers down. The Fusiliers worked
with a Swiss brigade during the battle for Flensberg
and did extremely well. Since then, the Fusiliers
have been able to charge more or less whatever they
wanted to. Most contracts are fulfilled without a
single Fusilier being killed. Unit quality is about
70/30 Veteran/Elite.
