Submarines

Regardless of

the

depth,

a

submarine

expends only

P

MP to

enter a Water hex.

A

submarine

can move vertically

at

a oost of 1MP per

depth level that It ascends

or

descends. A submarine can move

any

number

o

levels

up

and

down

at

crulslng

speed

In

a single

Water

hex

as long as it has sufficient MP. A submarine cannot

descend

to

a

depth

greater

than

that of its

hex

or ascend

above

the surface

of

the

water

(Level

0 .

n

order to move

horizontally

or

change acing, the submarine must be at a

vertical

depth

level that is higher

than the depth

level

of the

hex

t accuplss--

in

other words,

R

cannot

move along

the bottom. If

a

submarine

is at the depth of

the hex

t occupies

and/or

enters i t is consid

ered

to be resting

on

he

bottom.

The depth of each

submarine

must be recordedon its

record

of the
