Unit Naming Conventions

[L'Evadentine]

Krav Maga translates from Hebrew into "hand-to-hand combat", which goes a long way for explaining the squad's stealth dodge features, though it stretches the presence of their guns a bit.

Examining "Krug" is a little more difficult. Monosylabic and gutteral, it might just be a top-of-the-head orc name, or a reference to the bad guy units in Dungeon Siege. Recently, though, I also noticed that it is a Russian word for "circle", which makes me think of the cyclic nature of his wounded smash ability.

Has anybody else noticed neat/obscure facets in heroscape figures names? Any thoughts on what they were actually getting at with "Krug"?

If Onacara is leading Minions then he's overcosted.
