Bunker walls have extremely high structure points. Units with the DEM (Demolition) or IF (Indirect Fire) special ability deal extra damage to walls.
Black Ice
Units that stop or run (Dash/Overdrive) on ice fields must make control rolls to avoid skidding.
Overload
A generator is overloaded if no unit with ENE or MHQ is within 6 inches at the end of the round.
