Special Unit Abilities
The special unit abilities described here are intended for use with the Alpha Strike rule system:
 Radical Heat Sink System (RHS)
A unit with the radical heat sink system (RHS) can perform a special coolant flush action in any End Phase where its Heat Scale is 1 point or higher. This coolant flush will reduce the unit’s heat level by 1 point (to a minimum of 0), but the controlling player must then roll 1D6. If the roll result is 1, the RHS special must be marked off, and the unit fails to reduce its heat level for that turn. A radical heat sink system that has been marked off in this fashion is no longer usable for the remainder of the scenario.
