General Details
Name: Chassis Modification, Limited Amphibious
Type (Category): Equipment (Other)
Reference: Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (p. 114)
Description:
Evolved for the battlefields of the Succession Wars, many conventional vehicles and fighters drew increasingly generalized toward a certain set of standard conditions, which ultimately served to limit their options in terms of environmental functionality. Amphibious capabilities, dune buggy modifications and environmental sealing against vacuum all became optional features, available to a multitude of units, but not commonly seen on the majority.
The “limited capacity” amphibious option enables wheeled and tracked vehicles to cross water deeper than Depth 0, and is generally intended for river crossings, shallow battlefield water obstructions and to make amphibious assaults from close to shore.
Game Rules:
A vehicle with the Limited Amphibious capability receives a maximum of 2 MP in water (or the maximum MP of the vehicle, whichever is less). To move from a land hex onto a water hex, the unit must begin its Movement Phase adjacent to that hex and move onto no other terrain but that body of water. The reverse process must be followed when the unit moves from water onto land. While on water, this MP is always treated as Flanking movement. Moving through water of any depth (including Depth 0) costs Limited Amphibious Vehicles 2 MP per hex. While on water, the vehicle is treated as a displacement hull naval vessel for purposes of line of sight, hull breaching and sinking rules.
