- Gray Champions
Gray Champions are chosen war priests of the Great Wolf. When a Transmississippian warrior survives impossible odds or recovers from a wound that should have killed him, he often dedicates the rest of his life to serving the war aspect of the Great Wolf. Gray Champions are known for their great stamina and a unique combat style that combines advanced melee weapons and close quarter firearms.

Special rules:
Great Hunt: Gray Champions can benefit from the Great Hunt special rule described in the Transmississippian Confederation Special Rules section.
“These eyes have seen death!” Gray Champions are not fearless berserkers, but they have already been through the worst horrors a war can bring. If a Gray Champions’ Pack loses the Sweeping Advance check after losing close combat and failing the Leadership check, the Pack doesn’t get instantly destroyed and instead stays in melee.
- Thunderhands
Long before first Gray Champions swore their oaths of initiation, pre-war communities of the Mississippi Valley had their own heroes of legends. Armed with two sub-machine guns and wearing numerous ammo pelts to feed the needs of their gluttonous weapons, these desperados were known as Thunderhands for the ability to turn a sunny day into a thunderstorm of gunfire. With the establishment of the Transmississippian Confederation many of these adventurers and self-proclaimed heroes have lost their job of hitmen and raider-hunters, but soon they found another career: riddle Confederate enemies with bullets in exchange for a decent payload of caps.

Special rules:
Always outnumbered, never outgunned: Thunderhands are trained to overwhelm their enemies with the sheer intensity of fire before closing up for a vicious close quarter combat. Thunderhands can chose to Rapid Fire their weapons even if they have moved in the Moving Phase. Even if a Thunderhands’ Party chose to Rapid Fire their weapons in the Shooting Phase, it can still attempt to charge enemy in the subsequent Assault Phase. However, when rolling dice for Charge Range, they receive a -2’ modifier.
Barrage of bullets: Thunderhands can deploy small-arms firepower overwhelming enough to pin enemy troops to the ground. The Transmississippian Confederation player can declare Barrage Of Bullets attack in the Shooting Phase against any enemy unit within the range of fire. For the length of that Shooting Phase, the Ballistic Skill of the Thunderhands’ Party and any characters that joined it is decreased by -1, but their shooting attacks count as Pinning.
