** Hover - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hovercraft#Military Military hovercraft,] hovers are known for their high speed, coupled with their vulnerability to weapons fire (they are no easier to hit, but hits tend to hurt them more easily, particularly with regards to mobility). They can enter clear, water (on top of it, not in it), but are prohibited from entering any type of woods or rough hexes. Hovers can weigh from 5 to 50 tons.
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hovercraft#Military Tank] - Tend to be slower than the other vehicles; they are the hardiest against mobility damage (any shot that hits a vehicle, there is a chance that its mobility will be affected, either a reduction in MP or a penalty to driving rolls; different vehicles roll differently on this table. See Total Warfare for the details on this.) Tanks can weigh from 20 to 100 tons, and can enter clear and light woods hexes.
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTOL VTOL] - Flying units, can land on clear terrain, prohibited from any other type of terrain. Entering prohibited terrain at the level of said terrain results in the destruction of the VTOL. VTOLs can weigh from 5 to 30 tons.
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_car_(military) Wheeled] - A compromise between the hover and the tank (faster than the tank, not as vulnerable to mobility damage as the hover); they are capable of entering clear terrain. Wheeled vehicles can weigh from 20 to 80 tons.

 * Battle. Fighting to the death with a group of units that you wish to be rid of is a good way to get rid of some of them. If nothing else, you'll learn how to sue them better.
 * Donating to teammates. Units can be moved freely between players in the same faction for no cost. However, the receiving player should agree to the donation - dumping unwanted units on unsuspecting teammates is prohibited.
 * Donating to the faction hangar. This has some cost, but it allows your teammates to purchase the unit if they wish it.
 * Scrapping the unit outright. This has a substantial cost, but it may be the only way to rid yourself and your faction of very bad units without needing to use them in battle. A salvaged unit may be scrapped for no cost within 10 minutes of the end of the battle it was salvaged in.
