Using Named Characters in Heavy Gear Blitz!#

Introducing new and old gears is one of the great parts of the Extended Content project for blitz. These gears may be used in the armies specified in their description. Sometimes, they’ll count as another gear for rules purposes, since the sublists were written without them in mind. In these cases, they interact with special rules as if they were a gear of the type mentioned. For Example, Edward Scott in a Jaguar counts as a Jaguar for Rules Purposes, and so may be used in additional roles with the Surplus Jaguars from the Northern Guard rule, Surplus Jaguars.
These rules are intended to represent the character at a specific point in time, though with permission from your opponent, further upgrades may be taken at the appropriate cost. The ability to take upgrades is to allow players to further customize them in a way consistent with the existing game mechanics. It does allow for player to use them to create custom characters as well.
