Terrain movement effects

Linear hindrances cost 1 extra inch, force a Faltering check on approaches (failure means Piecemeal) and make attacks Tired. Area hindrances cost 2 per inch and make the ward Tired. Buildings cannot be entered and make wards moving around them Tired. Defended obstacles make attacks through them Tired.

For Approaches, these cause merely a Faltering check- any failure means that the approach has become Piecemeal. Any attack across them immediately counts as one that is Tired.

Each terrain feature has a disarray number (e.g. wheatfield/sand/ford 1, broken ground or surf higher, woods automatic). All numbers crossed in a turn, plus charge-generated and belos disarray, are summed for the whole taxis; if the total exceeds its Disarray Qualifier the unit becomes disarrayed. Values are not cumulative between turns.

the total amount for the terrain crossed are added and applied to the unit’s Disarray Rating. If the sum of all these events exceeds this number in a turn, the unit is disarrayed.

Woods are loose or dense terrain pieces. A character entering one halts once fully inside; on later turns he rolls two fewer dice in dense terrain and one fewer in loose terrain. In the open movement is straight-line, but a character may follow the edge of a terrain piece ('skirting') and leave it tangentially.

on subsequent turns they have their movement reduced; by two dice if they start their turn in dense terrain, one dice for loose terrain.

Formed HI take 2 DPs and formed MI 1 DP for moving through or across rough terrain; unformed infantry are unaffected; non-cataphract cavalry may cross minor obstacles or light woods for 1 DP.

Usually impassable for cavalry. Formed HI take 2 DPs for moving through or across. Formed MI take 1 DP.

Terrain may be difficult (for some unit types), give cover, obstruct artillery, or be impassable. Moving through or changing formation in difficult terrain causes disorder (two-card phase). Units in difficult terrain get -1 to volleys, defence and attack rolls; bases in water cannot fire.

When a unit moves through difficult terrain, it causes disorder. Disorder requires the moving player to use an additional card.

A Ninja climbs one level on 4+ (2+ with a grapnel). On a 1 the Ninja falls, is prone and generates an extra Noise token; falling more than one level requires a Save per additional level.

A Ninja may climb one level on a 4+ (2+ with a grapnel).

Crossing a stream costs an extra inch; towns halve movement and cancel the road bonus; woods are impassable to all but light infantry and units forced into them by rout are destroyed. Hedges, walls and copses have no movement cost.

Towns – All units move at ½ rate and do not receive the road bonus when moving through a town.

Manoeuvre-order rates are multiplied by 1.5 on good roads, and difficult terrain halves movement.

'M' rates x1.5 on good roads. Difficult terrain will halve movement.

Mexican units reaching a ditch or the abatis stop movement immediately and may cross on their next turn without further penalty. The Chapel, gatehouse and Convento cannot be laddered.

Mexican units that reach the ditch immediately stop movement. They may cross on their next turn without further penalty.

Bad going (woods, marsh, buildings, steep slopes, rivers) makes each cm count as 2 or 4 depending on arm and formation: horse in column x4 and impassable in line, foot column x2 and line x4, limbered artillery x4.

For example, x2 means each cm counts as two. Bad going includes woods, marsh, buildings, steep slopes and rivers.

Bad going (steep slopes, rough or boggy ground, dunes, woods, built-up areas, enclosed fields) cuts moves to 200p for mounted and bars artillery/war wagons off-road, and gives -2 in combat to all but auxilia and psiloi. Roads give 400p to most troops but require column.

- 2 if any but auxilia or psiloi; and in, or mounted in contact with enemy in, bad going on or off-road.

Fordable streams, narrow passages and built-up areas require one complete bound regardless of movement capability, as do road craters and abatis; controller may adjust for questionable terrain.

Such as fordable streams, narrow passages, built-up areas will require one complete bound to cross regardless of the existing movement capability of the crossing element.

Rough terrain is half rate, very rough quarter rate, linear obstacles half rate.

Rough: half movement rate Very Rough: quarter movement rate Linear obstacle: half movement rate

Only open and difficult terrain exist. Difficult terrain (forests, towns, rough ground) halves movement for non-infantry. In the Nach Stalingrad scenarios, vehicles crossing a balka off-road roll a d6 and stop in it on 1-3.

Difficult terrain (forests, towns, rough ground) halves all movement rates for non-infantry stands.

Allied infantry entering the lake must first pass a Morale test, then roll 1d6 each time they move on the ice and are removed on a 1-2. The lake is impassable to Chinese units, and cliffs are impassable linear obstacles.

Once on the ice, each unit must roll 1[d6] every time it moves. On a result of ‘1-2’ remove the unit as a casualty.

Infantry move freely, and guns cannot enter Very Difficult terrain. Tracked vehicles drop their highest move die in Difficult terrain and must pass a Terrain Check in Very Difficult. Half-tracks drop the highest die in Difficult and cannot enter Very Difficult. Wheeled vehicles take a Terrain Check in Difficult. Roads add +6 inches for tracked and +12 inches for wheeled vehicles, and optional rules add Bogged vehicles.

Unless deemed impassable, Infantry Teams move through terrain and obstacles freely. All other Teams are affected as shown below. A failed Terrain Check stops the Team in contact with the terrain.

Woods and built-up areas stop units on entry and limit movement to one hex. Broken ground forbids wheeled units and makes mounted troops fight as if disrupted. Rivers require stopping before entering and make all occupants fight and shoot as if disrupted. Steep escarpment slopes are infantry-only. Impact bonuses are lost in woods, built-up areas, broken ground and rivers, and fighting from up-slope gives +1.

No impact bonuses apply to any unit occupying or attacking a broken ground hex. Mounted troops fight as if disrupted when occupying a broken ground hex.

A solid road costs 1 MP, a dashed road 2 MP, and a river costs 1 MP downstream and 2 MP otherwise.

The roads linking them come in two t/pes: the lice, which & slower going. = ? movement points available. A solid road costs i MP. A fN A dashed

All movement not on roads is halved; no movement in mountains except through the passes; crossing a river costs one additional move.

All movement not on roads was halved and no movement allowed in mountains except through the passes. Rivers cost one additional move to cross.

Up to 8 terrain pieces; set terrain before randomly deciding which way is North. A hilltop holds one unit and only artillery fires over hills. Bad ground may be infantry-only. In the Blitzkrieg edition infantry and HQs save on 5 in soft and 4 in hard terrain.

possibly some bad ground classed as "infantry only may enter" or an impassable escarpment.

The §34 table gives maximum distance per Zug for each arm and activity (route march, attack, retreat, pursuit) on roads, open ground, slopes of 5-10, 10-15, 15-25 and 25-35 degrees, light and dense woods, marsh and enclosures, with the umpire free to modify it. Long marches are shortened for weather and ground condition per the General-Idee.

Woods/uphill subtract 1" from every die rolled and raise the DP threshold to 1-3. Minor obstacles take a turn and 1 DP (2 under fire); fences/walls take half a move; major obstacles like abatis are set by players.

Woods/Uphill: -1" from all dice rolled.

Woods and uphill: -1" from every die rolled. Minor obstacles take one turn and 1 DP (2 if under fire); fences/walls take half a move and 1 DP if cavalry or under fire; major obstacles like abatis are set by the players. Roads let the player choose Average Die results.

Woods/Uphill: -1" from all dice rolled.

A move crossing delaying terrain reduces the base move by 1" for class I, 2" for class II and 3" for class III. Close-order foot and artillery in woods are unformed; mounted cavalry may not enter woods or jump obstacles. All units are unformed while and after crossing water; deep water may only be crossed at fords in march column.

reduces the base move by 1" for I class, 2" for II class and 3" for III class troops.

The Terrain Effects Chart gives per-inch MP costs by class: roads cost 1/2 MP per inch, while woods cost tracked vehicles 3 per inch. A stand with 50% or more of its base entering terrain pays that cost. Weather can turn clear terrain into Rough Terrain 1 or double costs. Streams, rivers and water need fords, bridges, amphibious movement or fording boats.

There are four movement classes: Wheeled (W), Tracked (T), Foot (F), and Amphibious (A).

Moving through an open Pā entrance or gate costs a figure 1" of movement. Scaling the outer palisade requires starting the movement action in contact, then being placed on the far side.

Due to the restricted nature of movement through the entrance/ gate of a Māori Pā (if open) it costs a figure 1" of movement.

Rough ground (dense woods, rocky ground, creeks, steep hills) costs double movement; obstacles (low walls, fences, hedgerows, doorways) cost 2"; some terrain may be impassable by agreement.

“Rough” terrain costs double the movement distance to move through it. Obstacles, such as stone walls or passing through a building doorway, cost 2” of movement.

Roads give x2 movement if the unit starts on and follows the road; rough terrain x0.5 if starting or ending in it; rivers block movement and take a full MOVE action to cross. Terrain is ignored in Simple Mode.

Road: x2 movement length, as long as the unit starts on the road, and follows the road. Rough: x0.5 movement length

Difficult terrain reduces (Decreases) Speed; Very Difficult also automatically Disorders the unit; Impassable prohibits movement. A unit is only affected if its Front Centre passes through the terrain. Light troops treat Very Difficult as Difficult.

A unit is affected by a piece of terrain if its Front Centre passes through it.

Movement is prorated so only the part spent in woods or crossing obstacles is halved. Cavalry and artillery cannot enter woods or cross obstacles; artillery crosses streams only at bridges. Jägers, Chasseurs, Zouaves and Turcos move at full speed in woods in skirmish or deep column. Battalions can split into two nearby buildings and must exit in skirmish order.

Hills: Units going uphill lose 1" per contour. There is no penalty for going downhill.

Difficult terrain can be entered but not Marched through (March stops at its edge); impassable terrain cannot be entered. The terrain table lists e.g. light woods difficult and obscuring, dense woods and buildings impassable and LOS-blocking, obstacles difficult with cover. Roads give x1.5 movement to cavalry and limbered artillery in v4.4.

Units are not allowed to March through difficult terrain.

Movement is halved in rough terrain or when crossing a linear obstacle; units in Open Order move through rough terrain without penalty.

This is reduced to half in rough terrain or if the unit crosses a linear obstacle.

Steep hills risk disorder for all but light troops; cavalry cannot charge uphill. In woods and marshes heavy/medium infantry move only 2BW and are always disordered, and cavalry cannot move at all; light troops move normally. One player sets the terrain and the other chooses sides.

Heavy and Medium Infantry in bad going move only 2BW and always get disordered. Cavalry cannot move at all in bad going.
