Bogging chance?

While some AT guns, like 37 mm. and 75 mm. has no bogging chance, some, like 2pdr. or 57 m. has 25 % bogging chance!!

How was it calculated?

Don't think that's possible since a 2-pdr can't move.

Yes, but!

You are right!

But due to the squads excel file has it 25 % chance!

It is probably a msiatke but is not used so ignore it.

If you are off road at the start of your turn it should be the chance of getting bogeed. The idea is to make values extreme and noticable. E.g. A tiger has a high chance to break down - much higher than it should in reality so that it becomes a significant gameplay maechanic you plan around rather than something you see once every few games.

Since you already have being bogged as an item in the game, can you allow for a given wheeled or tracked unit to take damage, and become bogged due to say a flank hit on the wheels or track? It would simulate the effects of a hit on the sife, enough to immobilize the unit, but not enough to kill it.... would be a lot easier target to take out! Just an idea.
Love the game, even if that last desert scenario continues to bite me.... the last round, I got within 3 squares of the final VP before time expired ! ouch lol!

We decided against immobilized units but adding them in scripts is pretty easy if modders wanted to. The issue is clearly showing a user that a unit is immobilized.
