I searched for the word "river" in the manual and I didn't find any. That's why I suppose the manual doesn't say anything about penalties for attacking from a river side. I guess such attacks are penalized, but in what measure?

The developer, Frank Hunter, in response to this question:

Do rivers affect combat or movement?

Answered:

Rivers do affect readiness as they're crossed, increasing it by one. Also, if they are in a combat hex the same impulse they moved they have a slightly higher chance of taking casualties. Also, if more than 50% of the forces on one side crossed a river into that combat hex the other side's trench benefit for the battle is increased for that impulse.

Original thread is here.
