	Mercenary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mercenaries fought for the Biafrans in the 4th Commando Brigade during the Nigerian Civil War, (1967-1970).
		Swiss mercenaries were sought after during the late 15th and early 16th centuries as being an effective fighting force, until their somewhat rigid battle formations became vulnerable to arquebuses and artillery being developed at about that period.
		It was then that the German landsknechts, colorful mercenaries with a redoubtable reputation, took over the Swiss forces' legacy and became the most formidable force of the late 15th and throughout the 16th century, being hired by all the powers in Europe and often fighting at opposite sides.

	Descent 3: Mercenary for PC Review - PC Descent 3: Mercenary Review
		Mercenary, the official expansion for Descent 3, barely exceeds such low expectations.
		As a service to the busy people at Interplay and anyone interested in purchasing Mercenary, it should be pointed out that there are no single-player fan-made levels on the disc, at least none that are actually installed or listed on the new game menu.
		As it is, Mercenary is a somewhat threadbare mission pack that doesn't even live up to the expectations set by its own packaging.

	Bolt Thrower : Mercenary - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mercenary is the first Bolt Thrower release to feature significant changes for the group.
		Additionally, Mercenary is the first recording from the band to appear on Metal Blade Records.
		Thomas' superior drumming is more impressive than his predecessor's; however, some would argue that Andy Whale's borderline sloppiness amounted to a sonic signature, so it's wash. Despite being more technically accomplished, Mercenary lacks the material to qualify as a significant Bolt Thrower disc.

		The guild of Shadows employs Mercenaries for the defense of Albion, and these "dirty" fighters are known to be quick and light on their feet, charging an enemy and quickly cutting them down.
		They scoff at the shiny platemail of the heavier-clad fighters, choosing to wear chainmail, which affords them the ability to be able to occasionally dodge enemy blows.
		Not necessarily able to put out the sheer devestating damage of a polearm blow, Mercenaries utilise a weapon in each hand to be able to break through the defenses that a slow tank might find difficult.

		mercenary have been around for some time, but 11 Dreams is by far their best album (and the most critically acclaimed).
		what makes mercenary so great is that they flawlessly blend several genres of metal: some extreme, death, power, and dare i say iron maiden-esque melodies.
		Mercenary burst into the metal scene in the 90's playing melodic death/thrash, but went on to add a clean vocalist and a keyboardist, which was probably the dumbest thing they could have done.

		It starts on a war-torn battlefield with Seagal and a group of mercenaries fighting a legion of French soldiers after having kidnapped and killed the French ambassador.
		Director Don E. FauntLeRoy, who did the so-so "Today You Die" with Seagal, proves his worth with this sequence as the action is fluid and crisp and looks like it cost way more than the reported $15 million it actually did.
