How does the game calculate the Cv ffor defenders and attackers? I don`t see much benefit for defenders especially behind major rivers.
Assuming the river is nonfrozen, inf types are up too (a roll) halved by both types of rivers. Technicly X number of troops, by roll is disrupted and not counting for CV purposes.
AFV/vehicles are up too halved by minor, reduced up too 2/3 across major rivers.
Since i been doing lots of sandbox testing of the combat system recently i can attests it actually works. U will see the non modified CV about halved if u compare to an attack not across a river. Note that the way that modifying CV works u can see the modified CV being higher than ur unmodded pre river CV. Because of this some times ppl might not feel the river "bonus", but it in fact is there.
This is the text that concerns it.
15.6.4. Cross River Attack
Combat units attacking into a hex through a non-frozen (ice level four or less) minor or major river hex sides are required to expend additional movement points above the normal attack MP cost. All ground elements that cross the river to attack are subject to a disruption check prior to the initial computation of combat value. Ground elements with longer range indirect fire devices will normally not check for disruption while infantry and combat engineers most likely will check. Infantry type ground elements will tend to suffer approximately the same amount of disruption for both minor and major rivers, but AFV and combat vehicle ground elements will suffer more disruption in crossing a major river than a minor river. Since disrupted combat units do not contribute to overall CV, players can anticipate a reduction in overall CV of up to half for minor rivers and up to two-thirds for major rivers prior to any other modifications
Hope it helps,
Rasmus
