Hulldown

[Der Kuenstler]

Nah, he was sitting fully on the crest the dumb ass.

If your tank was buttoned when it got to the rise it might still not have found the target - tank visibility is reduced when buttoned. You can't combine the "seek hulldown" with the "shoot-n-scoot" commands - the best you can do is eyeball where hulldown would be when you do your "shoot-n-scoot" - it just takes practice.

I read in one of the posts that you can delay a units move so he has time to reload, I cannot find this order.

I don't know of any such order. THe tanks all automatically reload after firing.

Are there any MUST reads you can recommend.

As far as tactical posts, anything by Poor Old Spike is helpful for new players. Another good way to learn (although somewhat boring) is by playing small hotseat games against yourself with extreme FOW on.
