I kinda like the idea of them not as that big threat though just as a scrub killer so you can lay down the hurt with Boba or some other big scary Mando. It fits my play style that regard. ((plus I'm trying to think of another good Mando scrub killer...)

Resol'nare is perfect for setting up Furious Assault for the mercenaries. Hide them behind a corner and let them Assault.

Spoiled last night on SHNN:

37/45

Teebo, Ewok Sentry -- RM: Ewok Warrior (MotF25)
Fringe
SMALL BASE
cost 15

hp 30
def 16
atk +6
dam 10

Special Abilities
Unique

Advanced Warning [If this character has line of sight to an enemy, allied Ewoks gain Relay Orders (Each allied commander can count distance from this character as well as from itself for the purpose of commander effects)]

Sentry [Replaces attacks: Target 1 non-Unique enemy, ignoring cover. This round, this character and allies ignore cover when targeting that enemy.]

Spotter +10 [If this character combines fire against a target within 6 squares, the attacker gets +10 Damage against that target]

Stealth [If this character has cover, he does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets]

111 points to try and ensure that this guy can make his rolling fire save? He does not have accurate and needs to kill the enemy every time and that is hard to do consistently with +10 attack. I think its fine.

Does he have PILOT or is it just in his name?

Andy is right. It's a bit weird. When an effect says "_______ allies gain...", the interpretation can go several different ways.

* If it's a faction (e.g. Sith allies), then it's based on the character's faction symbol. Note that Affinity *changes* a faction symbol, but other ways to get characters into different squads, like Betrayal or Bribery or a CE, do not.

* If it's a defined ability, then you look to see whether they have that ability. So "Mercenary allies" have to have the ability Mercenary, not just Mercenary in their name. It's actually the same way for Pilot, since it is a defined ability. But for Pilot, Trooper, and Soldier, the definitions say that anyone with Pilot or Trooper or Soldier (respectively) in their names also count. Some other defined abilities (e.g. Green Jedi, Covenant, Wookiee) retroactively apply a label to older figures. So every Chewbacca is automatically a Wookiee based on the glossary definition of Wookiee.

* If it's not a defined ability, then it's characters whose names contain that phrase. For example, Dessel's CE says, "Gloom Walkers gain..." That means characters whose name contains Gloom Walker.

Hmmm... it doesn't say allied Gloom Walkers. I wonder if that is what it says on the card. If that is what the card says (and it hasn't received an errata), that would be a strange bonus if you just happen to run into an opposing Dessel and get to benefit from his CE with one of your Gloom Walkers.

I feel like this was addressed recently (or at least mentioned) I can't remember what was said though I'll have to see if I can find what I'm thinking about.

I think Kerra will see a lot of play.

It's kind of like a mini Galloping Attack, but you can spread out to avoid it. And one miss ends it. And OR doesn't have the movement breakers that Yobuck has.
