Downloaded demo and trying this game ... looks really good and I'm afraid I will buy it [8D]
Just question ... I played demo operation and in second battle I have mechanized platoon with bren carriers ... during battle two of them stopped moving between some trees and looks bogged. But I cannot find this information anywhere ... is it displayed anywhere?

Armor will get stuck in the woods. Try to stick to road movement orders through woods or at least stay close to the edge. Use foot infantry (non-mech) to clear woods, if you have them.

Usually the troops bail out if its stuck for good. I'm not sure if that info shows in the troop status icons. You could mouse over them and see. Once had one drive up a house in the dark and was stuck on two wheels. The crew bailed.

This behaviour is rare however, if you send your troops to the same places you would in real life - so, use road march for towns and woods, avoid water, send infantry into close terrain and armour into open terrain...
