This was really tough, and I keep wondering if we learned the rule correctly.
FYI: you "lose control" when you expend all your control markers for a turn.
It's hard to predict how many control markers you need to save for maneuvers and contingencies. With a damaged vehicle, this really reduced my risk taking; hence, it was hard to point my vehicle's weapons enough.
It can be deadly when you forgo your speed based defense dice. The skidding consequences of losing control pale in comparison to this one.
I am unaware; can you get defense dice to roll from other factors than speed? (I just checked a picture where the
steel plate component will give you one extra defense die.)
I can't wait until they implement
active protection systems where you get to roll red defense dice! ;-)
