Tank f6:h5 fails.

Actually, I expected a different move. Oh well, can't predict everything. :)

I have the feeling I get the rule too. Makes it damn hard to attack with, though.

I think that it fails . . . Let me check again.

Did the rules for the cannon change, and no one tell me?
Just wondering, becuase that move a couple of turns ago looks kosher to me.
