Terrain turmoil - a question.

RE: Terrain turmoil - a question.
What seems to be talked about is discussed is battlefield dynamism.  I don't know that they could get away with adding movement obstructions created from the results of combat while ignoring los issues due to firing blackpowder weapons.

And if one were to go that far, I guess you could argue for adding in the ability to set fire, and wind effects (drifting smoke, spreading fires) - as I can come up with 3 examples of firing places as part of the battles just off the top of my head:  Breed's Hill 1775, Lutzen 1632, and Fredericksburg 1862 -I'm sure there's more.

I don't know that if there is a case being put out there for battlefield dynamism impacts, that the movement obstructions could really be a stand alone add on -not when you consider that the very nature of a blackpowder battlefield was the blackpowder and massive smoke clouds.  (Lutzen 1632 fits into that nicely too, as I am reasonably certain that Gustavus Adolphus charged into the smoke and that's ultimately what did him in -he might be a hero to some, but the more you know about the guy ... he was reliably rash ...something about hubris I guess... ).
