Hello.

In the game there is nothing for "reverse gear" !!!

So, when we play, we count one "reverse gear" as a two time mouvement, but with only one move. And we put a 2 speed token for one "reverse gear", because mouvement is slower.

I think that is a good idea. I want to know what you think about that.

Thank you.

This is a common observation from new initiates. You may come to realize it as unnecessary in this game, or you will go mad at things like tanks squeezing through gaps half their width, dead tanks shooting and killing other tanks, or, heaven forbid, multiple treelines not equating a more difficult shot than one.

For everything else, there's Flames of War.

Welcome aboard!

By nature of how movement works I thought you could reverse anyway? As for a penalty for doing so I dont know as yes reversing is trickier than going forward, but I dont think a tank will struggle to do so. In fact a common tactic during tank battles was to suddenly reverse. It would throw an opponents aim and also allowed the tank to fall back with its strongest armour (and weapon in case of assault guns) to still face the enemy.

To be fair the abstractness of TANKS can be a little odd at times, gotta remember its a fast and loose version of WW2 battles at end of day.
