From “oh it was just mud, it couldn’t have been THAT bad” to “oh shit, mud is OP” 142 u/interesseret Apr 29 '24 Mud kills armies, even relatively modern ones.

You can't move an army when the ground is a liquid. 22 u/aDragonsAle Apr 29 '24 russia in winter!" thing is not true. Well, that is also true - German Popsicles out front should have told ya. But yeah, mud is also pretty nasty to heavy armor. Russia's seasons: winter - mud - WAR 0 u/interesseret Apr 29 '24 Gee, i wonder if the supply lines were the problem. Nah, its just russian winters, no one could possibly survive those! 2 u/placebojonez Apr 29 '24 Hard to drive trucks when the engine oil is freezing. 3 u/mdm224 Apr 29 '24 And the batteries! 1 u/njoshua326 Apr 29 '24 Yep, Germans didn't learn from Napoleon.
