Several Moscow 42 Questions

Id disagree a bit. Im re-reading Erickson now and at the start of the campaign up N the weather would get cold, enough for a tennous land bridge over lagoda but then a day or so later, the temps would rise, and the lakes (or rivers in your case) wouldn't thaw out but they became unsafe for moto transport. There are all those ancedotal stories of trucks falling through the ice at lagoda. In other words a total thaw of rivers and lakes isnt what is being simulated, rather a rise in temp, lessens the ice, making it unsafe for vehicle transport. I can see this happening with rivers. There are some noted cases I just read of ruskies attacking across rivers in the 3rd week of decemeber, in 2nd pz groups area, where the foot guys could cross and make their attacks but the ice was too thin for moto transport
