Is swamp defense being looked at?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

So far I have not seen a big problem attacking into swamps in my testing.  I have often been able to push Soviets out of swamps at 2-1 odds or better, even when they are in forts.  May have uncovered an unrelated bug and I'll keep testing.

It does seem to vary a lot - sometimes you can bounce them (rare but does happen), sometimes you'll need your infantry to grind them out. Still struggling to get to grips with the combat mechanics to figure out what the key differences are other than random chance. Similar story with city/urban hexes.

Pretty awesome book about the Airwar during the Barbarossa is:
Barbarossa: The Air Battle July-December 1941 by Christer Bergstrom.

His other works are also highly recommended for air war on the eastern front.
