The Casual Play option we use (that does not require Call to Arms) to bring the Specialists in play is the following:

- Use a pre-set scenario, with armies in place, etc..
- Draft 4 Specialist cards at random, face up
- Player A selects one Specialist card
- Player B selects 2 of the remaining 3
- Player A picks the remaining card

And of course, alternatively if you don't care about balance or fairness but want to be able to just select two specific Specialist cards theme wise, you can simply have each player pick their 2 favorite Specialist card, and play them at game start (still w/o using the CtoA deployment method).

Hope this helps,
