I guess the armor facing on or off could be the way a person wants to intetprete what happens when a tank retreats from battle. Assulting pretty much happens the same way all the time. I just don't want to have to make 100 different chioces before I play the game. I have been getting assulted with startling regularity and its been working, I don't see the down side to the new assult rule. Huib we'll have to play with the armor off sometime almost all of mine have been with armor on, I'd like a chance to see what a few games with it off would be like. Playing my 1st with it off now.

The armor facing is a source of some debate. This is a platoon level game with company command. Armor facing is really more suited to CM etc.So, the game was designed not to use armor facing. I suspect the rule came about mainly because the early German tanks can't do much against the T/34s and KVs without a rear shot It does I think tend to make for some gamey type play.I like it off but rarely make a big deal out of it.
