-\subsection{Advanced Force Construction Rules} - -Add the following paragraph at the end of the section: - -League organizers may allow additional adjustments, such as allowing a commander to use two faction lists instead of one faction list and one general list. -Any additional adjustments must be available to all commanders. - -\subsection{Casual Scenario Primary Objectives} - -The following changes fix Alpha Strike compatibility for Casual Scenarios. -Update the following items on p. 25 of the full rules and p. 9 of the quickstart rules as follows: - -\begin{enumerate} - -\setcounter{enumi}{1} -\item {\bfseries Supply Raid}: 3-7 supply depots are on the map, near the center. -Each supply depot has 1-3 loads of supplies. -Any unit with hands or cargo capacity can load supplies from the depot if they end the Movement Phase in the same hex. -Standard cargo loading rules apply. -A 'Mech carrying supplies can't fire arm weapons (BattleTech) or does -2 damage (Alpha Strike). -A unit carrying supplies earns a portion of 7,000,000 C-bills for bringing the supplies to their home edge. -Each side cannot score from the same supply depot twice until they score from every other supply depot. - -\setcounter{enumi}{7} -\item {\bfseries Recovery}: 4-6 disabled 'Mechs are equally spaced along the map diagonal. -A unit of equal or higher weight class can drag a target 'Mech. -A friendly unit must be in the same hex as the target 'Mech during the End Phase to start dragging it. -Units without hand actuators must use 1 turn securing the target 'Mech. -The dragging unit has a 1/2 reduction in their walking MP and cannot jump. -A target 'Mech cannot fire weapons in one arm (BattleTech) or does -1 damage (Alpha Strike). -A unit earns a proportion of 7,000,000 C-bills for each 'Mech returned to their home map edge. - -\end{enumerate} - -\subsection{Battlefield Support} - -The BattleTech: Mercenaries box set updated the Battlefield Support system for BattleTech. -Replace the Battlefield Support subsection of the Scenario section with the following text: - -By default, \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} assumes commanders are using the full rules for combined arms from \emph{BattleTech: Total Warfare} and \emph{Alpha Strike: Commander's Edition}. -League organizers may allow Battlefield Support: Strikes rules (p. 75, \emph{BMM} and p.55, \emph{AS: CE}) to provide simplified aerospace and artillery support and off-board artillery rules for Alpha Strike (see p. 151, \emph{AS: CE}). -League organizers may also allow Battlefield Support: Assets rules (BattleTech: Mercenaries box set) to provide simplified non-'Mech units, such as combat vehicles and infantry. - -\subsubsection{Battlefield Support: Strikes and Off-Board Artillery} - -Each side for a scenario must agree to use Battlefield Support: Strikes or off-board artillery rules. -When using Battlefield Support: Strikes rules, each side receives the same number of Battlefield Support Points (BSP). -Consult the Battlefield Support rules in Alpha Strike: Commander's Edition or BattleTech: Mercenaries box set, as appropriate, to help determine the number of BSP and the cost of each support type. -Each side may also agree to use any unused BV from force selection to purchase additional BSP, where 1 BSP costs 20 BV. -Commanders may increase their BSP by up to half of the BSP limit. - -The following additional rules apply when using Battlefield Support: Strikes or off-board artillery. - -\begin{itemize} - -\item The commander's force must have a unit capable of offering the support. - -\begin{table}[!h] -\ifthenelse{\not \equal{\outworldsMode}{mode-web}}{\fontfamily{Montserrat-LF}}{\small}\selectfont -\centering

off-map unit in their force is offering support during the scenario before using the off-map support rules. -The same unit must be used to provide this type of support for the rest of the scenario, unless this unit is destroyed. - -\item Commanders declare what Battlefield Support they are using this turn at the start of the Weapon Attack Phase while declaring attacks. - -\item The first successful use of Defensive Aerospace Support or Counter-Battery Support/Fire damages the attacking unit. -The second successful use destroys the attacking unit. - -\end{itemize} - -Counter-Battery Support is a new form of Battlefield Support for BattleTech that mirrors the Counter-Battery Fire rule from Alpha Strike. - -{\bfseries Counter-Battery Support}: -Counter-Battery Support costs 14 BSP and can only be used once enemy Artillery Support has been used. -The Target Number for Counter-Battery Support is 7. -Reduce the Target Number by 1 for each use of enemy Artillery Support where a friendly unit had LOS to the point of impact. -Reset the Target Number to 7 if the enemy artillery unit is destroyed by 2 successful Counter-Battery Support attacks. - -\subsubsection{Battlefield Support: Assets} - -Each side for a scenario must agree to use Battlefield Support: Assets rules. -Commanders may agree to only use Battlefield Support: Assets rules for some types of units, such as conventional infantry units. -Commanders should use the same rules for every unit of the same type in the scenario, BattleTech: Total Warfare or Battlefield Support: Assets. - -When converting a unit in a force to an Asset, first compute the Asset skill level by taking the average of the Gunnery and Driving skills, rounding down, and adding 2. -Only BV values for skill 5 and skill 6 are provided on the Asset cards, so unit skill levels may be temporarily degraded for a scenario to a higher skill level. -Use the BV cost of the Asset at the computed skill level. - -For BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes, an Asset is considered \emph{damaged} if the Destroy Check Target Number is reduced to (base Destroy Check Target Number + 4) / 2, rounded down. -For example, the Manticore Heavy Tank Asset is considered \emph{damaged} when the Destroy Check Target Number is reduced to (10 + 4) / 2 = 7 while the Warrior H-7 Asset is considered \emph{damaged} when the Destroy Check Target Number is reduced to (5 + 4) / 2 = 4. - -If the BV of the Asset at skill 6 is lower than the BV of the unit at Gunnery 4/Driving 5 under Total Warfare rules, scale the \emph{repair} and \emph{replace} costs to account for the unit being less combat effective. -For example, a Manticore Heavy Tank Asset is 420 BV at skill 6, while the Manticore Heavy Tank under Total Warfare rules costs 993 BV. -The Manticore Heavy Tank Asset has 42\% of the BV, so it only costs 279,196 C-bills to \emph{repair} or 558,392 C-bills to \emph{replace} instead of the 660,100 C-bills to \emph{repair} or 1,320,200 C-bills to \emph{replace} the unit using full Total Warfare rules. -Do not apply any modifiers for quirks or DropShip modifications when \emph{repairing} or \emph{replacing} Assets. - -\subsection{Sample

paragraph for Salvage had a grammatical error. -That paragraph on p. 14 of the full rules, p. 7 of the quickstart rules, and p. 5 of the event rules should read: - -{\bfseries Salvage}: Recover enemy units that that were \emph{destroyed} in a scenario. -Pay 50\% the C-bill cost, rounded up, to add salvaged enemy units to your force. -A War Crow Prime costs 22,057,358 C-bills, so it costs 11,028,679 C-bills to add a salvaged War Crow Prime to your force. -The new unit starts at skill 4/5 and can be \emph{trained}. -Alternatively, sell the salvaged unit to earn 25\% of the C-bill cost. -A salvaged War Crow Prime could be sold to earn 5,514,340 C-bills. - -Add the requirement that unit skill levels can differ by no more than 3. -Update the Train rule on p. 14 of the full rules, p3. 7 of the quickstart rules to say: - -{\bfseries Train}: Pay 500,000 C-bills multiplied by the difference in BV skill multiplier to improve a unit's skill levels. -For example, a Gunnery 4/Piloting 5 pilot has a BV skill multiplier of 1.0 and a 3/4 pilot has a BV skill multiplier of 1.32. -Therefore, it costs 160,000 C-bills to train a 4/5 pilot to 3/4. -Units cannot be upgraded past 1/2. -New units and units that did not participate in the most recent scenario cannot be upgraded past 3/4. -Skills cannot differ by more than 3. -See \emph{BattleTech: TechManual} p. 315 for the BV skill multiplier table. -A unit's skill levels may be degraded at no C-bill cost. -ProtoMechs and infantry units without anti-'Mech equipment have Piloting/Anti-'Mech 5. - -Update the Train rule on p. 5 of

rules: - -{\bfseries Granular Repair}: Calculate the repair costs based upon the percentage of the internal structure damaged. -Armor is still repaired for free. -The repair cost for Omni units is still based upon the fielded variant. -A 5/6 pilot or crew is still included in the repair cost. - -For BattleTech, calculate \emph{repair} costs as 50\% of the unit's C-bill cost, multiplied by the percentage of internal sections damaged. -For example, if 2 internal sections have structural damage and another section has a through-armor critical hit that caused critical hit damage, pay 3 / 8 = 37.5\% of 50\% of the C-bill cost of the unit, or 18.75\% of the C-bill cost of the unit. -It would cost 2,113,173 C-bills to repair a Wolverine WVR-7D damaged in this way, instead of 2,817,564 C-bills per the standard \emph{repair} rules. - -For Alpha Strike, calculate \emph{repair} costs as 50\% of the unit's C-bill cost, multiplied by the percentage of internal structure bubbles damaged. -For example, if a unit has only 1 out of 3 structure bubbles remaining, pay 2 / 3 = 66.7\% of 50\% of the C-bill cost of the unit, or 33.3\% of the C-bill cost of the unit. -It would cost 3,756,752 C-bills to repair a Wolverine WVR-7D damaged in this way, instead of 2,817,564 C-bills per the standard \emph{repair} rules. - -\subsection{Rearm} - -Add the following optional rule on p. 17 of the full rules: - -{\bfseries Rearm}: League organizers may require ammunition to be replenished. -\emph{BattleTech: TechManual} provides cost per ton for ammunition. -When not purchasing ammunition by the ton, it costs 35,000 C-bills for standard ammo and 175,000 C-bills for specialty ammo to rearm a unit. -In Alpha Strike, apply a -1 modifier to damage at all brackets during a scenario if a unit is not rearmed. - -Add the following two new optional rules for infantry units on p.17 of the full rules: - -\begin{description} - -\item {\bfseries Conscripts}: Foot infantry may be treated as conscripts. -These units have no cost to \emph{recruit} or \emph{replace} and cannot be sold as \emph{salvage}. -These units must be \emph{purchased} as normal to be added to a force. -Conscripted troops may be no better than Gunnery 4/Anti-'Mech 5 and cannot have Special Pilot Abilities (SPAs). -Commanders may have elite infantry who can be higher skill and receive SPAs. - -\item {\bfseries Anti-'Mech Costs}: Some infantry units, such as Anti-'Mech jump infantry, can have particularly high C-bill costs. -The relatively low BV cost for these units can be exploited to give commanders disproportionate initial C-bills. -League organizers may reduce the Anti-'Mech Training and Equipment cost multiplier (see p.282 TM) from 5.0 to 2.0 to mitigate this issue. -Commanders multiply the C-bill costs of all units with Anti-'Mech training and equipment by 0.4. - -\end{description} - -\subsection{DropShip Customization - Maintenance} - -Replace the first paragraph on p. 21 of the full rules with the following paragraphs: - -Improve the ability to repair, replace, or refit units in a maintenance category. -Also, commanders may fix a limited number of through-armor critical hits or motive system damage without paying the \emph{repair} cost. -The maintenance categories are 'Mechs, ground Combat Vehicles, VTOL Combat Vehicles, Aerospace units, and ProtoMechs. - -This customization stacks with quirks. -A unit that is \emph{Easy to Maintain} on a DropShip with level 1 in maintenance for that unit type is 15\% cheaper to \emph{repair} or \emph{replace} while a unit that is \emph{Hard to Maintain} would only be 5\% more expensive to \emph{repair} or \emph{replace}. - -\subsection{DropShip Customization - Support Bays} - -Add the following text at the bottom of p.22 of the full rules: - -\emph{\bfseries Support Bays}: A vehicle may be used to convert combat vehicle bay space into DropShip customization levels. -Using a vehicle in this fashion fills the entire bay. -The vehicle must cost at least 500,000 C-bills; if the vehicle costs less, pay the difference to use the vehicle in this way. -Only one level of a type may be added by a vehicle and customization cannot exceed level 3. -The vehicles may be used in scenarios but do not grant a level of customization if \emph{damaged} or \emph{destroyed} unless \emph{repaired} or \emph{replaced}. - -\begin{itemize} - -\item BattleMech Recovery Vehicles give 1 level of Machine Shop - -\item Vehicles with at least 6 tons of MASH equipment give 1 level of Medical Bay - -\end{itemize} - -\subsection{Casual Scenario Primary Objectives} - -The following changes fix Alpha Strike compatibility for Casual Scenarios. -Update the following items on p. 28 of the full rules and p. 9 of the quickstart rules as follows: - -\begin{enumerate} - -\item {\bfseries Reconnaissance}: The map contains 15 buildings, 7 of which contain hidden objectives. -Place the buildings randomly or each side takes turns placing the buildings. -The defender secretly rolls to determine which buildings hold the objectives. -Attacking units may search buildings during the End Phase if they are in the target hex (in base to base contact, Alpha Strike) and no enemy units are in the target hex. -The search is successful on a 2D6 roll of 7+ for 'Mechs and ground combat vehicles or 5+ for infantry. -An attacking unit with an active probe may instead search 1 building within range of its active probe on a 2D6 roll of 6+. -The attacker earns 1,000,000 C-bills for each objective they find and the defender earns 1,000,000 C-bills for each objective remaining hidden. - -\item {\bfseries Supply Raid}: 3-7 supply depots are on the map, near the center. -Each supply depot has 1-3 loads of supplies. -Any unit with hands or cargo capacity can load supplies from the depot if they are in the same hex as a supply depot (in base to base contact, Alpha Strike) during the End Phase. -A 'Mech with hand actuators must declare which hand is holding the supplies. -For units with cargo capacity, a friendly infantry unit must load or unload the supplies during the End Phase. -Units involved in loading or unloading supplies cannot make weapon or physical attacks during that turn. -A 'Mech carrying supplies can't fire arm weapons (BattleTech) or does -2 damage (Alpha Strike). -The supplies have negligible weight. -There is no movement penalty and jumping units may still jump while carrying supplies. -Carrying supplies does not decrease the infantry space in a combat vehicle, but all standard infantry mount and dismount rules still apply. -'Mechs carrying supplies in their hands may drop the supplies at any point during their movement. -The supplies are automatically dropped if the carrying 'Mech falls or goes prone. -Units with cargo capacity must be unloaded by a friendly infantry unit. -Each side cannot retrieve more supplies from the same supply depot until the current supplies from that depot are scored. -A unit carrying supplies earns a portion of 7,000,000 C-bills for bringing the supplies to their home edge based upon the total number of loads of supplies available. - -\item {\bfseries Zone Control}: 3, 5, or 7 key points are distributed on the map. -The locations of the key points dramatically changes the gameplay. -The basic configuration is 3 key points along the center of the map and 1 key point halfway between the center and each home edge. -A side controls a key point if only their units are in or adjacent to the key point (within 2", Alpha Strike). -During the End Phase, the side that controls the most key points earns 1,000,000 C-bills. -If each side controls the same number of points and controls at least 1 point, then each side earns 500,000 C-bills for that round. - -\item {\bfseries Base Defense}: 7 buildings are on the defenders side of the map. -Each building is medium with a construction factor of 60 (6, Alpha Strike) and 1-3 levels high (1"-3", Alpha Strike), unless the players agree upon a different configuration. -The attacker earns 1,000,000 C-bills for each building destroyed and the defender earns 1,000,000 C-bills for each building remaining. - -\item {\bfseries King of the Hill}: A hex in the center of the map contains a building with valuable files. -The building is medium with a construction factor of 60 (6, Alpha Strike), unless the players agree upon a different configuration. -The force earns 1,000,000 C-bills for every turn that they have the only infantry units inside of the building at the end of the turn. -Commanders may add additional bunkers to the center of the map and split the 1,000,000 C-bills between the number of bunkers. - -\item {\bfseries Assassination}: A VIP needs to be escorted across the battlefield. -The defender selects a medium or heavy 'Mech from the Periphery General or Pirates list. -The VIP is a Gunnery 5/ Piloting 4 (Skill 4, Alpha Strike) pilot and half of the

\emph{BattleTech: Campaign Operations} or \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} and is available as a free PDF. -The Chaos Campaign rules are used for campaigns in \emph{BattleTech: Chaos Campaign: Succession Wars} as well as \emph{BattleTech: Spotlight On} and \emph{BattleTech: Turning Points} publications and \emph{Shrapnel}, the BattleTech magazine. -The \emph{BattleTech: Mercenaries} box set adds a contract system for the \emph{BattleTech: Chaos Campaign} system. - -\emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} can be used as the logistics system for \emph{BattleTech: Chaos Campaign} with the \emph{BattleTech: Mercenaries} box set extension. - -\subsubsection{Contract Terms} - -1,000 Supply Points for \emph{Mercenary Chaos Campaign} is worth 3,500,000 C-bills in \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes}. -A standard 10,000 BV \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} force is equivalent to a Scale 2 force in \emph{Mercenary Chaos Campaign}. -These conversion rules assume one scenario per month for the ease of computing logistics costs. - -These following contract terms in \emph{Mercenary Chaos Campaign} interact with \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} as described below. - -\begin{itemize} - -\item {\bfseries Base Pay}: \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} assumes the employer or supporting faction covers 100\% of the base operating costs for the force. -When using the \emph{Mercenary Chaos Campaign} system, the base operating cost for a \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} force is 3,500,000 C-bills. -If the contract provides lower than 100\% Base Pay, the commander must pay these operating costs after each scenario. -For example, if the contract has 80\% Base Pay, the commander pays 700,000 C-bills after each scenario as basic operating costs. -Similarly, if the contract has higher than 100\% base pay, the commander earns extra C-bills after each scenario. - -\item {\bfseries Straight Support}: Reduce the \emph{repair} and \emph{recruit} costs by the percentage of Straight Support in the contract. -For example, if the contract offers 80\% Straight Support, the commander only pays 20\% of the \emph{repair} and \emph{replace} costs. - -\item {\bfseries Battle Support}: Reduce the \emph{replace} costs by the percentage of Battle Support in the contract. -For example, if the contract offers 10\% Battle Support, the commander only pays 90\% of the \emph{replace} costs. -Note that a contract with Battle Support also grants 100\% Straight Support, so the commander only pays the remaining portion of the \emph{replace} costs and none of the \emph{repair} or \emph{recruit} costs. - -\item {\bfseries Salvage Rights}: Only collect the percent of the revenue from \emph{salvage} granted by the Salvage Rights. -For example, if the contract offers 60\% Salvage Rights, then the commander only earns 15\% of the C-bill cost when selling salvaged units instead of the typical 25\% of the C-bill cost. -Also, the Salvage Rights limit how many units the commander may salvage and add to their force. -Multiply the number of enemy units destroyed by the Salvage Rights percentage and round down to determine how many units may be salvaged and added to their force. -A minimum of 1 unit can always be salvaged and added to their force. -For example, if a commander destroys 5 enemy units and has 60\% Salvage Rights, then they may add up to 3 of those units to their force. -If a commander destroys 2 enemy units and has 40\% Salvage Rights, then they may add only 1 of those units to their force. - -\item {\bfseries Command Rights}: The specific scenarios determine what effects, if any, Command Rights have on the scenario. - -\item {\bfseries Transportation Terms}: If using transportation costs, use the 1,000 Supply Points to 3,500,000 C-bills conversion to compute transportation costs. -The employer or supporting faction covers the negotiated portion of the C-bill cost. -If not tracking transportation costs, then Transportation Terms must be set to 100\% (step 9). - -\end{itemize} - -League organizers may allow a limited set of contracts or may allow commanders to negotiate contract terms per the rules in the \emph{BattleTech: Mercenaries} box set. -Reputation cannot be used to modify contract terms unless allowed by league organizers. -League organizers set the frequency at which contracts may be renegotiated. -If the renegotiation occurs while the force remains on the same planet, then the Transportation Terms cannot be renegotiated. - -\subsubsection{Default Contracts} - -Two typical contracts for \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} are given here. -As described in the \emph{BattleTech: Mercenaries} box set, commanders may negotiate to adjust the terms of their contract. - -The first default contract replicates the \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} system. -Commanders have 100\% Base Pay (step 7), Independent Command Rights (step 11), 100\% Salvage Rights (step 13), no Support Rights (step 1), and 100\% Transportation Terms (step 9). -Force maintenance works as described in the \hyperref[subsec:force_maintenance]{Force Maintenance} section. - -The second default contract significantly reduces the maintenance cost for commanders while also reducing salvage and transportation payments. -Commanders have 100\% Base Pay (step 7), House Command Rights (step 7), 40\% Salvage Rights (step 7), 10\% Battle Support Rights (step 7), and 50\% Transportation Terms (step 7). -Force maintenance works as described in the \hyperref[subsec:force_maintenance]{Force Maintenance} section with the following modifications. - -\begin{description} - -\item {\bfseries Replace}: Pay 45\% of the C-bill cost, rounded up, to replace a \emph{destroyed} unit. - -\item {\bfseries Repair}: Pay 0\% of the C-bill cost, rounded up, to repair all internal damage and critical components for a unit that has not been \emph{destroyed}. - -\item {\bfseries Recruit}: Pay 0\% of the C-bill cost, rounded up, to replace troops in an infantry or Battle Armor unit that was not \emph{destroyed}. - -\item {\bfseries Salvage}: Recover enemy units that were \emph{destroyed} in a scenario. -You may add up to 40\% of the destroyed enemy units to your force, rounded down, with a minimum of 1 unit. -Pay 50\% the C-bill cost, rounded up, to add salvaged enemy units to your force. -Also, sell components from any destroyed enemy unit that was not added to your force to earn 10\% of the unit's C-bill cost. - -\end{description} - -\subsubsection{Scenario Scoring} - -Organizers may score scenarios by using the Supply Point payments given in the \emph{Mercenary Chaos Campaign} and using the 1,000 Supply Points to 3,500,000 C-bills conversion. -This scoring only provides three possible payments for the primary objective in a scenario, 50\%, 100\%, or 150\% of the 3,5000,000 base pay for a Scale 2 force. - -For a more granular scoring for any \emph{BattleTech: Chaos Campaign} scenario, award the 7,000,000 C-bills payment for the primary objective proportional to the victory points or supply points earned by each side. -For example, if one side earned 8 victory points and the other side earned 13 victory points out of a total 25 possible victory points, then award 2,240,000 C-bills to the first side and 3,640,000 C-bills to the second side. - -If the scenario has secondary objectives, the maximum secondary objective payment should be 3,000,000 C-bills. - -League organizers may make adjustments to these guidelines as desired. - -\subsubsection{Time Between Tracks} - -\emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} replaces the Supply Point (SP) costs for the activities in the \emph{Time Between Tracks} section of \emph{Mercenary Chaos Campaign} with the \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} Force Management rules. -The following adjustments apply to the standard \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} rules for Force Management. - -\begin{itemize} - -\item {\bfseries MechWarrior Wounds}: MechWarrior wounds heal at a rate of one box per month. -At the start of each month, remove one hit from each injured MechWarrior. -For example, if a MechWarrior had taken 3 hits, it would take 3 months to fully heal; they would be back to 0 hits at the start of the third month following their injury. - -\item {\bfseries Repair Time}: Repairs are completed at the start of the month. -If two or more scenarios are played in the same month, \emph{repairs} and \emph{replacements} from previous scenarios in the month are not completed before the later scenarios. - -\item {\bfseries Training Time}: Training is completed at the start of the month. -If two or more scenarios are played in the same month, \emph{training} started after previous scenarios in the month is not completed before the later scenarios. - -\item {\bfseries Purchase and Sell Time}: \emph{Purchases} and \emph{sales} apply immediately. -If two or more scenarios are played in the same month, purchase or sales made after earlier scenarios immediately change the unit availability for later scenarios. - -\item {\bfseries SPAs}: New SPAs earned by units apply immediately. -If two or more scenarios are played in the same month, SPAs earned after earlier scenarios immediately apply to units for later scenarios. - -\end{itemize} - -\subsubsection{Scales of Play} - -The \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} rules correspond to Scale 2 in \emph{Mercenary Chaos Campaign}. -All of the standard and agreed upon optional rules for \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} apply at this scale. - -To play at Scale 1, use modified \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} Event rules. -Your force has a modified Leopard dropship with 4 configurable bays. -Your initial force has up to 3,000 BV in 'Mechs

Crow A costs 9,704,829 C-bills, so a Carrion Crow C can be temporarily configured as a Carrion Crow A for a scenario. -A Carrion Crow B costs 15,617,992 C-bills, so a Carrion Crow C cannot be temporarily configured as a Carrion Crow B. - -\item {\bfseries Purchase}: Pay the C-bill cost to get a new unit. -Commanders must purchase units from their \href{http://www.masterunitlist.info}{Master Unit List} faction and era list. -The new unit has a pilot/crew at skill 4/5 and can be trained. - -\item {\bfseries Salvage}: Recover enemy units that that were \emph{destroyed} in a scenario. -Pay 50\% the C-bill cost, rounded up, to add salvaged enemy units to your force. -A War Crow Prime costs 22,057,358 C-bills, so it costs 11,028,679 C-bills to add a salvaged War Crow Prime to your force. -The new unit starts at skill 4/5 and can be \emph{trained}. -Alternatively, sell the salvaged unit to earn 25\% of the C-bill cost. -A salvaged War Crow Prime could be sold to earn 5,514,340 C-bills. - -\item {\bfseries Sell}: Sell undamaged units for 50\% of the C-bill cost or \emph{destroyed} units for 25\% of the C-bill cost, rounded up. -A Locust LCT-1E costs 1,574,200 C-bills and may be sold for 787,100 C-bills. -If the Locust LCT-1E was \emph{destroyed}, then selling it would only yield 393,550 C-bills. - -\end{description} - -If a
