The Wheeling Maneuver

A wheel is a combination of a move and a turn. Instead of simply changing the direction of facing while remaining in the same location (as is the case with a right face, left face, or about face turn), a unit that performs a wheel changes direction and location at the same time by pivoting along an arc. The movement cost of wheeling is the distance moved by the figure farthest from the pivot point. (This is one case where a flexible measuring device comes in handy, since the distance to be measured is along a curved line.) See the illustrations on page 27 for an example of a wheeling maneuver.
