If the Bishop's tactic or an Enlist decree recruits a Mercenary, when does the Mercenary move?

The designer answered this directly in 2021.

A Mercenary on the board gets a maneuver for each Mercenary recruited, so Enlist can give it two. When the Bishop's tactic does the recruiting, resolve the Bishop completely first (recruit, then the Bishop moves or attacks), then the Mercenary maneuvers; this 2021 designer ruling refines his 2019 "yes" to an immediate maneuver. Some tables still move the Mercenary first. Enlist does not give a Bishop its bonus move or attack.
