OVERVIEW
	Among the various member of Elisist's staff are 
numerous former MechWarriors, who test, suggest, and oversee 
new 'Mechs.  One of these staff members briefly fielded what 
was known as "The Wolfman" - a hybrid of a Wolverine and a 
Rifleman made on the battlefield.  The method for making such a 
hybrid was well-known, and there were still a number of these 
units floating throughout the Inner Sphere.  He suggested 
building a copy of this 'Mech, but with its design intended from 
the beginning.  Thus was born the Wolfman.

CAPABILITIES
	The Rifleman was primarily a long-range 'Mech, the 
Wolverine primarily a close-range 'Mech.  The Wolfman, as a 
result, has a mix of both capabilities.  The AC/5s located in the 
arms give it long-range capability, letting it harass enemies from 
afar.  It carries more AC ammo than the Rifleman did, also, 
allowing it to stay in the fight longer.    Once an enemy gets 
close enough, it can unleash its seven medium lasers to chew 
through enemy armor very effectively for a medium 'Mech.  The 
usual strategy for the Wolfman is to haarass enemies into 
coming closer, until the Wolfman can open fire with its lasers and 
unleash the bulk of its power.
	A unique advantage of the Wolfman is the fact that it 
looks more like the Rifleman than the Wolverine or a unique 
'Mech.  Elisist realized this, and therefore tuned all of the 
systems to make it appear to sensors as if the Wolfman is a 
Rifleman, leading most enemies to think that they're facing a 
misshapen or battle-damaged Rifleman.  Since the Wolfman is 
lighter and faster than the Rifleman, this can lead to unpleasent 
surprises when it covers sixty meters more than the enemy pilot 
thought it could!  This strategy allows it to get in close with its 
medium lasers and begin firing away before the enemy realizes 
what he's up against.

DEPLOYMENT
	The Wolfman has seen action in some quarters as a 
replacement for the Wolverine, although it lacks the Wolverine's 
jump capacity.  Wolfmen are also seen in lances with Riflemen, 
usually 2 Wolfmen and 2 Riflemen.  This allows the confusion 
strategy to be played to its maximum effects by keeping the 
Riflemen and Wolfmen moving in tandem.
