My GM once set up a map from the S7 map pack, the Jungle, but added in several pieces of dubious nature. He photocopied some of the City maps and placed them in various places on it. So, we had a Jungle City fight with streets, houses and Municipal buildings as well as the actual map to deal with.
There were Infantry, Vehicles and Mechs defending this "Paradise". The kicker? He added a river portion wide enough to accommodate a pair of custom-built Monitors, paired AC/10's and LRM-5s on standard frames using the saved tonnages to mount them, the LRMs shared a Ammo ton from AC/20 replacement.
We were doing a Mission for "our" Stable on S7 on a back world for extra cash, I had just previously won the salvage rights against a Clan Stable the use of a Turkina C, complete with her technician and former pilot as "bondsman". Whatever that was... anyway. (

Yeah, I got the blunt of those two and even my cLPLs didn't do much damage, and I was a bog 4/5 at the time. I was rolling 8s and 9s, when i needed 10s and 11s. I tried to close in, but man, that terrain is brutal. And the weird part, was he got off 6 turns on most of us, the last 4 on me. And I was at 13 hexes out, trying to stay at a good place to minimize the returns and they kept hitting.
Of course, we were playing with the idea you need to have the Piloting skills to work it. You started off with medium weight of 4/5 and "pay" a Million per each level of weight. Or buy it with 4 kills in it like normal. So yeah, I was on my 2nd Kill...
It went 4/5 Medium, +1 each per weight up and -1 each per weight down. On top of your current standard medium weight skill. So if you were a 3/5 in medium, you became a 2/4 in lights, but a 4/6 in heavies and so on.
