Blashy Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 The % of chance is not very high, you just got one of those rainy summers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Well, look at it this way. You would have been happy with mud if you were playing Allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Panzer Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Agreed - those mid-summer mud turns are really jarring. Mud turns really need to stop completely by late May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud turns really need to stop completely by late May. Its realism, the chances if it happening are low, as in real life. You never know when your gonna have a unusually rainy summer, it does happen.

Kuniworth Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I once had winter until late may and then mud until mid-july. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winter part shouldn't happen that late, I agree with you there. But rain/mud can happen at anytime, it may not be normal for that time of year, but it can happen.

murks Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Rain and mud may occur in central Europe as late as may. However, given the excellent road system that the countries in question posessed in WW2 I don'T see how it could hinder military activities the way it does in SC2. I think only air power should be really affected by weather outside Russia and maybe northern Scandinavia. I usually can drive on the Autobahn at 180kmh even when the weather sucks. And German tanks had no problem rolling over Belgiums roads even when the fields there may have been muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerTomato Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 agreed Murks roads were perfect in western europe, so were railroads.I still think we should have less mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sombra Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 If you want to fight only on roads .... I think the weather works fine. Get yourself some motorization and the weather won´t bother you to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murks Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 The Autobahn was more of a joke you know. However I am not aware of either a german or allied advance in France/Italy/Germany/LC that got stuck in mud in WW2. And yes, I think troops moved on roads 90% of the time in western Europe. And when they didn't have to fight, it was 100%. Therefore, I don't see why movement should be limited the way i is now. When fighting, ok, there may have been slight disadvantages.
