Cost of Attacking WRONG????

[Wheat]

Blizzard, 1942

My panzers are attempting to make a HASTY attack across a major river. As I understand it, the cost should be:

HA-3
Attack across Major River-12
Blizzard-2
Total-17

Well, a panzer with 21 MP left CANNOT make the attack, a panzer with 23 MP left CAN. What am I missing here? Has the attacking costs changed in some patch?

The ice level MP costs affect attacking too.

Nix77, you are probably right, and I didn't realize it, but I went back to the updated manual and geez, its as clear as "mud" as to what the costs are. On the turn I wanted to attack, it was ice level 6. But nowhere in the rules does it seem to say what the costs are for attacking over a river with ice. I am pretty sure that at a certain ice level the river has no effect. I'm a bit bummed that the table of movement costs doesn't clarify this.

Anyone have better info on this?

Here's the line from the "Condensed Rules for 1.08.09", which is a good reference, but unfortunately not 100% perfect and of course doesn't contain the changes after 1.09.00.

Oh, and you got one thing wrong there, the Blizzard +2MP isn't calculated to attack costs, thus 23MP is just enough for a mechanized hasty over level 5-7 ice. I really wish there was a tooltip for the attack costs. Especially in WitW/WitE2 with the battle delay included it's going to be really confusing.

That woukd be great, one for movement would be awesome too. Is the 'Enter enemy hex' rule cumulative with the attack MP expended?
