How does the Mercenary's free maneuver work?
The publisher answered this directly in 2020, consistent with the rulebook.

The maneuver is optional ("you may"), and it applies only to a Mercenary already on the board when you recruit a Mercenary coin. It is a maneuver only: you cannot use it to deploy or recruit. Deploying a Mercenary is not a maneuver, and if the Mercenary is not on the board when you recruit, nothing happens.
