The GHQ scenario, "Sword of Allah! Battle of Susangerd", appears in the "Modern Micro Armor THE GAME", and revised in the January-February 2003 "TAC News". I will use the 2003 version since it is the most recent, though the same problem appears in both versions. Under the "special rules" section of the scenario it states, "Due to recent torrential rains, all non-aircraft stands' movement rates have been reduced. The weapons stats reflect this".
The problem is, there is nothing in the scenario that tells us about the movement reduction. A player can use the applicable Terrain Effects Chart in the rulebook and use the "mud terrain" movement rate.
Has this been addressed, and if so, what is the reduction?
Thanks, Mitch

MTB, looks as though the revised weapons stats were omitted from that TacNews. I would recommend using the mud movement rates in the Terrain Effects Chart. I played the original version of this scenario at Historicon and the revised version seems more historically accurate.

It is definitely more historically correct, especially the terrain.

Re: Question about Battle of Susangerd scenario
You're most welcome. I'm part of a small group currently working on the 2nd edition of the modern rules. We're focusing on making it easier to play and decrease playing time without diverging too far from the game's basic mechanics.

Re: Question about Battle of Susangerd scenario
Great. It does need some work. The revised WW2 rules cleaned-up that version. On a separate note, I'm not a fan of the overrun rules, especially in some of that terrain. In any case, I'll be looking forward to a new version. I'm actually in the credits of the current version..lol.
Thanks,
