Hey all. I am wondering if the hunters and mercenaries are considered minions? I assumed they were but once I got to the Spintiri Icewolves, which clearly sate they are minions and how to use them as such, I began to second guess if I was playing it right.

Also, when playing minions, if they are treated as one unit, in regards to wounds and attack, do the PC's need to account for range to defeat each minion? Narratively, if the PC's are surrounded, placing the hunters at different ranges, I'm imagining that the PC's would have to use maneuvers to reach, and defeat, all the minions even though they are technically one enemy.

Thanks for any input.
