Crew Escape Mechanism

The vehicle is fitted with protective devices, such as additional escape hatches, which increases the crew's chance of escaping if the vehicle is destroyed. If the vehicle is destroyed, D3 crew members survive. They form a small unit placed within 2" of their vehicle. Each one is armed with a lasgun or laspistol and has the same stats as a basic Guardsman. They are considered to be below half strength for purposes of morale checks, claiming table quarters, etc. They are worth zero victory points on their own but their vehicle counts only as being damaged for victory point purposes while the crew lives.
