Special rules
Bogging Down
Tracked and wheeled vehicles and heavy 'Mechs crossing swamp areas must pass piloting/movement checks to avoid getting stuck in the mud.
Crane & Salvage Mechanics
Units with hand actuators, salvage cranes or heavy-lift cables can tow wreckage faster and without movement penalties.
Salvaging Components
A unit ends its movement in base contact with a wreck and picks up 1 component. It carries at most 1 component. If it is destroyed, the component stays where it fell.
Tie
If both players salvage the same number of components, the mission ends in a draw.
