Surrender and Slow Tanks

It takes a tank 4 movement to enter bocage, which means that 3 speed tanks, such as the R35 and some Churchills, will surrender instead of retreating into empty bocage hexes. Just an interesting observation to share.

Likewise with heavy infantry in several terrain mixes, where you would need three movement but only got two. Forest to thick forest, for instance.
Towed units can't even enter many close terrain hexes (unless along a road, or by loading up into a transport which of course often makes the move pointless anyway.
Do note that none of these restrictions apply to deployment! It's perfectly possibly to buy a AT gun and place it in a marsh. Or Grenadiers in an especially thick part of a larger forest. It can move out but it can't move back in!
(None of this should be changed, consider it just more "interesting observations")
