CMBB Battle Questions

I don't object to night as such, but its a real irritation when you use random time/weather and night comes up....or something similar such as heavy fog. The problem is that you can't choose your force selection ot match. The solution is to agree on weather beforehand....if you both agree night then you can both tailor forces accordingly.

The disadvantage to the attacker in losing flexible artillery & heavy weapons support can be outweighed by being able to advance over most of the map unimpeded by defensive fire.

As for heavy snow, I suspect people don't like it becuase (a) it invreases bogging, everyone's pet hate, and (b) it makes the infantry really really slow. You need to add time to the game, and it can all get a bit tedious.

People also tend to avoid gentle or no slopes/light or no cover, as the Germans can sit back with Tigers or whatever and kill Russian tanks that have no chance of hurting them. Russians can do the same with early campaign KVs. Cover gives infantry a chance and outmatched tanks something to hide behind.

Heavy cover....not sure why people wouldn't like that....maybe becuase it tends to restrict their armour too much, also because it might be seen as giving too much advantage to Russian SMG squads.

Personally I'm for any combination of conditions, but you do have to agree them first.
