<ul><li> <u>General</u><br />
<ul><li> If a Ranking Officer with its own <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Model_subtype" title="Category:Model subtype">subtype</a> joins a unit then that unit <i>doesn't</i> become the same subtype. <br/>For example, if <a href="/index.php?title=Captain_Jonas_Murdoch" title="Captain Jonas Murdoch">Murdoch</a>, who is a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Trencher" title="Trencher">Trencher</a> model, joins a mercenary unit that will <i>not</i> make that merc unit a "Trencher unit". Refer the final paragraph of 'Game Terms, Model Names &amp; Rules References'.</li><br />
<li> A Ranking Officer can join a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Weapon_Crew" title="Weapon Crew">Weapon Crew</a> unit, even though one model is on a large base, due to them having the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Man-Sized" title="Man-Sized">Man-Sized</a> rule. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?252793-Murdoch-Rhulic-Artillery&amp;p=3561444&amp;viewfull=1#post3561444" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li><br />
<li> Models added to the merc unit after the game starts are also friendly Faction (ie <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Alexia1" title="Alexia1">Alexia1</a> adding Risen).</li><br />
<li> You cannot attach more than one CA to a unit. </li><br />
<li> You can't add a Ranking Officer to a unit that already acts as a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Partisan" title="Partisan">Partisan</a> for your Faction.</li></ul></li></ul><br />
<ul><li> <u>Gaining abilities</u><br />
<ul><li> The Ranking Officer benefits from any <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Granted" title="Granted">Granted</a> or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Tactics" title="Tactics">Tactics</a> that the 'normal' officer hands out (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Cylena1" title="Cylena1">Cylena1</a> giving her unit <a href="/index.php?title=Hunter" title="Hunter">Hunter</a>).</li><br />
<li> Unlike a normal Officer, a Ranking Officer <u>cannot issue special orders</u> that the unit has but he does not (such as the <a href="/index.php?title=Hammerfall_High_Shield_Gun_Corps" title="Hammerfall High Shield Gun Corps">High Shield's</a> "Shield Wall" order). <br/>This means you can't use that order <i>at all</i> until the Ranking Officer dies, but once he's dead it's fine to use.</li><br />
<li> If you add a RO to a unit with Ambush, the RO can Ambush too. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?278657-Ranking-officer-and-Ambush-press-gangers-and-valachev-or-attendant-priest&amp;p=3875864&amp;viewfull=1#post3875864" rel="nofollow">Locked thread</a></b>)</li></ul></li></ul><br />
<ul><li> <u>Ranking Officer death</u><br />
<ul><li> The merc unit will immediately lose any friendly-Faction "auras" (such as Stryker's +5 ARM feat).</li><br />
<li> The merc unit will keep any friendly-Faction spells that were cast on them specifically, until that spell naturally expires. You can pay to maintain a faction-only upkeep on the mercs, for example.</li><br />
<li> If the merc unit is supplying a buff to 'friendly-Faction' models, that buff will immediately 'swap Factions' too. <br/>For instance, if Lady Aiyana casts Kiss of Lyliss it will affect models that are <i>currently</i> the same Faction as her, not whatever was friendly-Faction <i>at the time she cast it</i>.

<li> If the Merc unit got a Faction-specific theme benefit (such as Cygnar models getting Immmunity Electricity in <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Storm_Division" title="Storm Division">Storm Division</a>) then they <i>keep</i> that benefit even after the Ranking Officer dies. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?277001-Storm-Division-Theme-Benefits&amp;p=3867540&amp;viewfull=1#post3867540" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul></li></ul><br />

<ul><li> If a Ranking Officer joins a unit with the 'Jack Marshal ability, then they can still only take Mercenary warjacks - they <i>don't</i> gain access to Faction warjacks. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?253607-Jack-Marshall-Ranking-officer-in-mk3&amp;p=3650146&amp;viewfull=1#post3650146" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li><br />
<li> They can control that mercenary warjack as normal, even though they're technically no longer the same faction as the jack.
