Right.

No. 0% in both cases.

Mostly, yes, but it's important to note that "backstabbing" the enemy
(ie. wedging from opposite the attacker's position) gets you an
_additional_ 10 (or 5) %, so you can actually get as much as 20% in
that case.

In any case, blocking bonuses only apply when adjacent to both attacker
and defender.
However, I'm not sure the tutorial should actually mention the exact
numbers as they might change now and then for balancing reasons.

I haven't had the time to go over the messages, yet, but I think
you still need some guards against some no-win situations:
* Losing the personnel carriers before having transferred enough crystals
* Burning so many crystals in repairs that you can't build the hovercraft
  (or the planes later on)
* Losing the hovercraft

I do.
