Another thing....
	if you manage to surround your repair facility, so that there is no 
room for your tank or whatever that is being repaired to come out, a carry-
all will come pick it up and deposit it to where it got it from....
probably right back into the middle of the battlezone....
which is quite helpful sometimes...since the vehicle doesn't have to make 
its way there all by itself again....
