Has anyone else seen this? I had three panzer divisions two hexes from Smolensk, and then ... mud. It only lasted one turn, but that was enough. Is this a compensating mechanism for an Axis player who is getting too far ahead? Just curious. Maybe I'm flattering myself ... ;-)

EDIT - this was under 1.03b

Yep, all the time with random weather turned on.

Check out p. 290 of the manual. No mud turns in June '41, so you won't grind to a halt at the border, but you've got a ~ 6-7% chance of a mud turn in July. There's a caveat (see p. 289) - there will be at most one mud turn per weather zone 19th June - 30th September.

No 6% chance, I see mud turn 4 every time, so now plan accordingly. Wait until you have mud turn 4 on 1/2 the map and then mud on turn 5 for the other 1/2. Then you hit Aug and get smacked again like that.

Good to know it's not triggered by Axis success, which would be a bit ... gamey.

Sometimes I wonder about that though. I have had the mud hit me right at the exact wrong time. Russians do swear that General Mud is the next best weapon to General Winter.
