Bug or feature? (bis)

[Jeff Conner]

I don't think there is an answer to your question. John Tiller determined the mechanics and wrote the code to support it. I don't think it was his intention to make armor invincible, but I don't know that for sure. When this issue was brought forward, the only effort to correct it was the addition of the chance for immobilization in covered terrain. John spent much of his time working on his Air Force projects and once the games were developed, coding changes were infrequent. Other changes that were asked for were multi-elevation buildings and modifiers for flanking assaults. Both would have added to the game, but the biggest issue was the one being discussed.
