If you are forced to retreat 1 hex because you were shot at, it would be nice if the AI would allow you to retreat in reverse.
As I noted above, on the scale of this game, I think it is beyond belief to expect that you would reverse a tank 750 meters. Just did not happen. We're on alluvial plain here and you still couldn't back 750 meters anywhere without hitting something, bogging down, or disabling the tank. But then of course, I think the retreat rule is fine, so I'm sure you expected this response. :-)
