By inference, I assume they can go out of column mode in a city hex but if they want to move, they will have to get back in column mode. Good assumption? I'm thinking of tanks moving in to take out Frost's men. Jim

Tracked or wheeled units may never leave column when in city hexes (or other terrain so marked on the TEC). You can use tanks on Frost but they will be at a disadvantage in the city.

Jim Jim, Check out the terrain descriptions in the exclusive rules book, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10: 2.9: "A Wheeled or Tracked Unit in a City hex may not leave Column. "

That is : could a tracked or wheeled unit in column in towns or cities exit Transport mode and flip over to its non-vehicle side or should it exit Transport mode before entering town or city hex ?

Thanks in advance
