Question: Strange Occurance

[Mobhack]

It got fired at lots of times by the nearby enemy infantry, probably causing suppression, and the section it fired at was at 1 hex, so it may have had a "firer panicked" morale result (can happen for exchanges of fire at 1 hex or less) and that may have tipped it over the edge. Its morale and experience is not that great, and it is fighting infantry inside a wood, after all. Tanks in woods are uneasy when enemy infantry are known to be close by and they need to take a morale test.

Try to rally away the bad morale, if it has rallies left.

Let me write more slowly and distinctly.

The tank fired at the adjacent unit and caused it to retreat. This was just prior to my doing the save. If all the prior action had given the tank a retreat status then it wouldn't have been able to fire at that unit and make it retreat. BUT nothing happened to the tank between that shot and the save, so how did it get the retreat status?
