Monwar Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hi all, I recently played a PBEM in deep snow (Finns vs Ruskies) where the troops got tired VERY fast. I thought it was absurd. But recently I came upon this para from Guy Sajer's 'The Forgotten Soldier' : "Running through snow isn't easy. In less than two minutes one is lathered with sweat, and after twenty it is almost impossible to breathe. Within an hour one's lungs feel bruised by the pressure of one's ribs, and everything is dancing with colored lights. The weather wasn't very cold, and the effects of our gymnastic efforts nearly suffocated us. " Just to share it with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonC Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 "In less than two minutes one is lathered with sweat" Unfortunately, in CM they are exhausted by this, rather than by 20 minutes or an hour of it. Snow fatigue should be more forgiving to the lightly laden "fast" infantry types. The present system just forces everything to use "move", which collapses all the tactical distinctions between movement types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
