Does anyone know the combat modifiers associated with marsh? Notice in the example that I've pulled back the Russian defense one hex so that the attacker has to enter a marsh hex. I'm guessing that attacking out of a marsh hex is bad but I don't really know for sure.
Here's some questions I have:
o What is the combat modifier for a land attack into a marsh hex?
o What is the combat modifier for an air attack into a marsh hex?
o What is the combat modifier for defending in a marsh hex?
o Does armor/mech have a more harsh modifier than infantry?
o Is there a combat modifier for attacking out of a marsh hex for either armor/mech or infantry?

Thank you in advance for any help on this subject.

I think it's both.

Attacking out of a marsh is bad, and I think attacking into a marsh is bad as well.

I think it's 0.5 modifier for attacks out of a marsh hex. But not sure if it's the same for attacks into a marsh, probably there's no modifier for it, it might just be caused by the defense bonus. Especially tanks suck then, but artillery and air attacks have a bonus. Even maritime bombers score hits on marsh hex units usually.

if you click on the marsh hex you can see the terrain properties.

Basically, defending in a marsh hex is good if you're facing tanks. Okish vs infantry. Bad if you're facing a lot of bombers. So if you wanna break Leningrad quickly, show up with a lot of artillery and bombers.

Thanks Umeu. I'd completely forgotten about right clicking on a hex to see terrain effects. Sheesh, go figure.
