Today is the turn for Balkas.

Balka is the name russian give to a type of small valley. Dry or with a temporary watercourse, slopes usually covered in grass. In the steppe regions balkas may form dry riverbeds.
They can be of 3 types. The one that insterest me is the "Yar" type. Yar Balkas are deep, steeped, making all motorized-mechanized-HW movement impossible without Engineers help.

Look at this pic, this a real Balka near the famous Red Star farm in the Chir river where the XXXXVIII PzK fought off dozens of soviets attempts to breach the left flank



That kind of terrain is usually overlooked in PzC scenarios. The "Yar" type is treated like an AT Ditch. Once the engineers breach it counts as a normal hex.
