Weather and terrain effects on combat?

[AshesFall]

I cant find any tables or sections in the rulebook explaining what effects (if any) weather and terrain have on combat. Can someone direct me to a table of some sort for this?

Hi AshesFall ,

Weather:

- See p-52-55 of base game manual, should be in your install folder (pic 1):

...\Battlefront\Strategic Command WWI Breakthrough\Manuals

- As a general rule:

1) clear weather has no effect so better for attack

2) rain/fog/mud penalizes attacker, mostly because of reduced movement/range

3) winter/snow/frozen reduce combat results/losses on both sides because attack values are halved

*

Terrain:

- Defending bonuses and other data for terrain are specified in each tile "properties" window (right click on a tile: pic 2-3).

- Exception is river bonuses as they are no tiles (attack -35%: pic 4) but they are displayed in combat screen odds on attacker's side (pic 4).

- Defense bonuses (+xDB: pic 4) are indicated on combat odds panel (defender's side: pic 4) when selecting one of your units and hovering the mouse over enemy troops.

Thanks! It seems that rain doesnt have any direct effect on combat. Odd, last turn when it started raining all over Europe I could have sworn that my attack efficiency went down significantly. Maybe it was storms and not just rain . Put a cramp in my style though.

- Given your AAR pics, I think your situation is mostly due to bad supply (I see most source near advanced HQ at 1...) after quick advance .

- There is also probably bad HQ attachments (AI not the best for that when left alone) and units not being at full strength).

- And last enemy units begin to dig in.
