Two little questions for CMBB grogs... : )

[Bogdan]

Hi guys,

I'm actually playing with a friend a PBEM "meeting engagement" battle. The weather is bad : rain and mud, in the morning... Some panzers are bogging sometimes and his infantry is launching an assault near my position with smoke shells.

Anyway, I have two questions :

</font>

• Is there more probability to bog a tank in "low" terrain than at the top of a hill ?</font>
• Is the duration of smoke shell shorter during rain than in a bright sunny morning ?</font>

Thanks for your help

1) AFAIK, no.

2) AFAIK, yes. Wind conditions have an effect, too.

1) AFAIK, yes.

2) AFAIK, yes - same answer as Sergei on this one.

And not to state the obvious, but just in case someone did not know, dont dare move tanks in mud/rain through scattered trees.

I thought someone ran a test of various bogging risks and found that bogging during mud/rain is less likely in scattered trees than in open ground. The rationale was that loose branches on the ground would act somewhat like a tarp. Anyone else remember this, or is it just me showing my age again?

This test was done in deep mud. I don't think moving in scattered trees is an advantage in any other ground condition.

Hello,

Thanks for your posts.

I always try to avoid throwing my few panzers in scattered trees. I'm not so mad

My question about bogging is for open terrain, of course !
