Submarines
Regardless of the depth, a submarine expends only P MP to
enter a Water hex.
A submarine can move vertically at a oost of 1 MP per
depth level that It ascends or descends. A submarine can move
any number of levels up and down at crulslng speed In a single
Water hex as long as it has sufficient MP. A submarine cannot
descend to a depth greater than that of its hex or ascend above
the surface of the water (Level 0). In order to move horizontally
or change facing, the submarine must be at a vertical depth
level that is higher than the depth level of the hex it accuplss--
in other words, R cannot move along the bottom. If a submarine
is at the depth of the hex it occupies and/or enters, i t is consid
ered to be resting on the bottom. The depth of each submarine
must be recorded on its record sheet at the end of the
Movement Phase.

NAVAL MOVEMENT ?
Naval mwement includes movement on and below the
water's surface. Surface naval vessels may only move through
Depth 1 or deeper Water hexes, at a cost of 1 MP per hex

entered, regardless of depth. Unlike other units, naval vessels
moving on the surface can use flank speed in Depth 1 or deeper
water.
For line of sight purposes, a surface vessel is at Level o i
(on the surface of the water).

Nds: If there is no turret, l hen all turret hits become

A back, axle, or Irft fan has been destroyed; the unit
cannoZ move for t he rest of the game. If a hovercraft
suffers this h~t while over Depth 1 or deeper water, rt
sinks and is destroyed.
A drive, wheel, or air-skirt has been damaged;
-1 Cruising MP for the rest of the game.
3 If the vehicle is a hovercraft, an air-skirt has been
damaged; -1 Cruising MP for the rest of the game.
If not a hovercraft, no addit~onal effect.
4The turret locks in its current position and cannot be
moved for the rest of the game; it can only fire out of
its current arc. If there i s no turret, no additional effect.
* A result of 2 or 12 may inf ~ c t a critical hit. Apply
darnage t o the armor in that section in the normal
manner, but the a3acking player also rolts once on the
Determining Critical Hlts Table, p. 35.
FmRt
Vehkles use the
standard rules for flrlng
arcs, multiple targets and
Whit madlflers. VeQlides
use slightly different rules
for t k l q damage.
The dl-rn shows the
Front, Side and Rear attack
directions for all vehlcles.
Vehlcks take hits to only four or five Eeons: Front, Right
Side, Left Slde, Rear, and Turret w Rotor (If applicable). When a
vehlcle takes a hit. roll 2D6 and consult the Hlt Location Table
for that type of vefilck to determine the locatlon that took
damage, using the appropriate column based on the attack
dlrectbn. Other results may also apply, as noted on the table.
Unlike attacks on Battleblechs, an attack against a vehicle
a m htts the side from which the attack came, or the turret.
Far example, a result of M against a vehicle's dght side wllt hit
the RmtSide armor, w internal structure If all the armor In that
location has h n destrow. A wuR of 1&22 would hlt the
