Russians ONLY "Little Saturn" No Germas Pls

To answer the questions, terrain will make some differences on the movement speeds of the units travelling through them. As long as you want the task force to stay together, it will matter little except for a little longer delay in getting to where you want, but do not get wild and wacky about it, only major terrain will make a difference. Yes a road will be faster then through the fields and you will have a greater chance of bogging armor but I would not get too hung up on it. Look for faetures of terrain where it will be good to attack from of good to defend from, or that willl limit the enemies ability to manuvre during a battle. The Russians have the initiative now, but it could change in a moment and you could be thrown into the defensive and have to worry about being flanked or encircled. You could be attacking one part of the day and being attacked the next. The biggest thing that terrain will modify is LOS. You are already moving so chances are that the Germans will see you before you see them. When you move a task force you will have to tell me what its posture is, ATTACK, DEFENCE. When you come into range I will compare the two sides posture to determine what typw of battle it will be, if both side are on DEFENCE then there will be no battle, ect.
Now the only way that you will be moving a platoon is if that is all that is in the task force. So you will plot movements and such acurately and you can move to a location and drop off a unit or two to go on DEFENCE there and continue with the rest or whatever you want, when you enter a battle you will enter with the entire task force, and maybe more if there are two moving very close together.
I hope that answers the questions.
