A clarification on mechanical mounts, does this mean i can pick Ocean/Deep Water OR Heavy Forest OR River and Any Swamp OR Any Land? because that Oxford comma is confusing me

Each trooper in the squad is issued a personal mount, either organic or mechanical in nature. Organic mounts can be horses, giant birds, sea creatures, or the like. Flying creatures are excluded from this due to things like saddles and such interfering with the ability of the creatures to fly. Mechanical mounts can be motorcycles, hover bikes, ski-doos, and the like. Again, actual flight type vehicles are excluded since this is covered under separate equipment…and no politician cares to spend that much money just to equip some uneducated grunt. Both types of mounts are listed below with their advantages and disadvantages.
Organic Mount
MP x3
Thermal Signature +1
Terrain Limitations: Ocean/ Deep water or Any Land
EM Cost: 1
Offensive Modifier: +1
Mechanical Mount
MP x5
Thermal Signature +2
Terrain Limitations: Ocean/ Deep water, Heavy Forest, River, and Any Swamp or Any Land
EM Cost: 2
Offensive Modifier: +2
Basically: The Terrain limitations are what the mount can access. So if an Organic Mount is aquatic it is obviously limited to aquatic terrain. Or a horse...is limited to any Land. Why not swamp too? While it is possible to traverse a swamp on a horse...it is far FAR more trouble than it is worth...and is faster on foot or by boat. (I grew up riding before I could actually walk so have a bit of first hand experience on this one.) Hope that helps.
It really does, thank you! Even tho you sure took your sweet time to answer!
Drones would be cool, as would funnels a la "Gundam"
Deployable defenses, too.
Something like charging weapons or plasma guns that risk overheating as a tradeoff for extra power
Also, good on you for getting the cretive juices back! Any tips as to how do it?
The organic mount's limitations say "Ocean/ Deep water or".
Or what?
