I gotta say Camacho's Caballeros, because of that whole homeboy feel.... and which other merc unit gets to feel like a mexican gang?
I LOVED those books. ;D
Unfortunately, I lost my copies. :-[
I just loved the characters, even if the main character wasn't a mechwarrior. I just found it funny that the MC had zero problem with a 14yo girl killing ejecting mechwarriors with a sniper rifle, beyond the 'don't let our MWs find out, they won't like it' advise.
Small Unit(1 Mech Lance or less): The Bounty Hunter
Outwitted Natasha Kerensky and stole her mech, proving that the Wolf's Dragoons could be beaten. Fought not for honor and glory, but the sweet c-bills.
Honorable Mentions:
Waco Rangers
Proof that ignoring your haters is not always a good idea.
>:D :thumbsup: 8)
My own choices are:
Camacho's Caballeros; for many many reasons. ;)
The Black Omen; Loved their original logo [which I'd like to find so I can download, all I can find is the new version].
Hansons Roughriders; I also liked the logo on them. But they are also dealt with better in canon, and date back to the original game.
Waco Rangers; I liked them when they were first introduced. And I liked how they ended.
Bronsons Horde; Likewise here, they were MERCENARIES! They were payed to kill civilians, they killed civilians. >:D
BH and WR did a lot to upend the image/idea that mercenaries were the good guys and house troops were evil scumbags. Something that was needed.
