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

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.
