Movement anywhere or against tail
|

Please excuse my American approach to NZ grammar and punctuation.
This statement seems to mean "either (1) or (2)":
"Then pick up the tank and place it anywhere along the Arrow, squared up against the Tail."
I interpret this to mean either
1) anywhere along the Arrow
Or
(2) squared up against the Tail,
As it cannot be both.
If it always must be #2, then a tank cannot move less the one arrow length.

I think you may be confused on what part of the arrow is considered the tail, its shown in the on the bottom of Page 5.
"Then pick up the tank and place it anywhere along the Arrow, squared up against the Tail."
As long as your tank is square against the arrow's tail it does not need to move a whole arrow length.

Since you use the word "arrow", saying square along the shaft would be more easily understood.

Since fewer people nowadays have knowledge of archery, and terminology in geometry not always consistent, then a simple diagram labeling tail, shaft, base of arrowhead and top of arrow(head) might have prevented misunderstanding. Edited by user Tuesday, June 28, 2016 2:45:43 PM(UTC)

This diagram is at the bottom of page 5 of the TANKS rulebook.
