[QUOTE=Rahvyn]For the most part no, it doesnt matter, except that my big artillary guns sometimes get caught in it and cannot resupply, therefore cannot move.[/QUOTE]
Big artillery guns are just that. They have to be towed by big heavy trucks or tracked vehicles, and are pretty helpless off road, especially in the mud.
I never take my Russian heavy artillery off road (a lesson I learnt the hard way). When you start the scenario, use the 'U' key to remove the units from the map, and look at the road network. In the East especially, it looks like it's been specifically designed to hinder military operations.
You have to decide, more or less in advance, where your main offensive push as the Russians will be, and after a couple of turns crunching the fort line, you must relentlessly push your big guns forward to where you think they'll be needed. Don't get them off the road unless both the current and next turn will be snow, and you're sure that you'll be back on a road by the end of next turn.
If you head off road, the weather will go bad, and you'll find your big guns stuck in the mud, and possibly out of supply as well, and your artillery men will be just sitting there, firing up their samovars instead of their guns.
