	There should be a disadvantage to the tankers.	I think that a
Tank
unit, under fire that fails a leadership roll must move away from the
enemy
at full speed, therefore not able to return fire.  They then can
reorganize
and then engage the enemy.  Patton used this psychology to defeat
Germans
who had better tanks than his own.
