Tanks backing up

[Pyros]

Hi,

here is more info for reverse movement:

(quote from Don G.)

Every time you back up it uses 1/3 of your available Movement points. If you don't have enough MP's to back up further the game will inform you that you cannot back up anymore. You MAY, however, still have enough MP's to turn around the " old fashioned" way and move further to the
rear.

It uses 3 times the cost for going forwards into that hex, not 1/3 of the units MP. so reversing into a clear hex usually needs 6 MP remaining for a treacked vehicle (2 times 3). Sticking probability is increased, e.g. eif you reverse into a swamp 9assuming you had enough MP in the first place to do so) - your ditching chance is 25% worse than when going forwards into the same swamp.

The 8 key on the top row of your keyboard, - the one with the "*" key and the "8" as well on it, ie the normal numeric keys?.

Unless you are trying the numeric key-pad with NUM LOCK set to OFF, as then it obviously won't return a number, but the other character !

Sorry, I was back in the DOS game, too much of a good thing. It works fine on both computers.
