Some units (excluding infantry) can carry pods (such as EW pods, or additional weapons). A pod carried by an aircraft replaces its ability to carry extra weapon counters. Class II or IV Ground units can carry one of them freely. Only specially built Class I suits can mount them. As before, aircraft must declare airborne or ground combat EW. The AMU is a very large mine that can be carried and dropped by a Neuspotter (M), it explodes in the next Mutual Fire Phase. Capacity is in terms of an aircraft's normal extra weapon load.
