Richard Simmons starred as Sergeant Preston, who patrolled the Yukon Territory in search of renegades and outlaws, during the time of the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s. In every episode, Preston was assisted by his Alaskan Malamute Yukon King, who had been raised by a female wolf. In episodes taking place during the summer he rode his horse Rex

I have work out some MWWBK’s rules that allows the characters to join a unit that can add a little something for one point without being OTT. I am thinking Sergeant Preston can join a unit and give it leadership 5+, only one figure can be used the foot with foot and mounted with mounted. If Yukon King is added to a unit he allows the unit to re-roll one and only one failed close combat die roll per turn. This means if the unit is in close combat more than once in a turn they only get one re-roll. Although the figures are attached to a unit they do not provide an extra shooting or close combat die.

Nicely done! 🙂 I think The Pikeman’s Lament rules let you take characters for a point and give them to units to raise their morale level as you’ve suggested (The Pikeman’s Lament works in a similar manner to Rebels and Patriots in that there is only one officer in the force, as opposed to an officer with each unit in TMWWBK).
It has been a long time since I looked at Pikeman’s Lament. Thanks for reminding me. A good idea!
I live right outside of Harrisburg PA (less than 5 minutes away). Cool stuff.
Thanks TPH
