QUESTION SUBMITTED BY EMAIL
Do we have to hunt down and kill every enemy vehicle crew? Do we get to claim them as kills for XP?
That is a big NO, you do not have to slay enemy Mechwarriors and Vehicle crew in combat, in fact it is the very opposite! It is considered a war crime to murder them unless they fire at you first, as such exposed mechwarriors/vehicle crew are not equal to their infantry peers (they don't have the same armor protection and survival gear) and are labelled as non-combatants until they take part in fighting outside of such units. That said in MegaMek battles players can hunt down enemy Mechwarriors for capture by ending a turn on the same hex as them, vehicle crew captures however are random rolls by the MegaMek HQ software.
Since killing OpFor Mechwarriors and Vehicle crews is labelled a war crime (unless they fire on you) they cannot be claimed as kills by your combat personnel for extra XP.
