What's the best way to pull out of a firing position in TacOps?
While playing the demo as the Canadians (my full copy is doubtless winging its way across the Atlantic as I write this) I lost some Leopards to a bit of carelessness. The tanks were in a good firing position on a hill, but had orders to fire smoke and reverse if fired on. Although the unit hadn't taken fire, I decided to pull them back anyway because things were getting a bit hot. As the unit turned around it took fire, promptly threw out smoke and then reversed as ordered -- except it had alreaady turned around and now its reverse took it straight into the teeth of the OPFOR advance.
