you can wage war in the summer or the winter, but during the spring/fall, you get mud season in eastern europe. so everyone sensible digs in where they are and waits it out until the ground dries/freezes and you can go again.
It elevates the difficulty of digging defensive positions from “laborious” to “sysyphean”, which means that an army put on the retreat will likely stay on the retreat.
“As ground freezes” idk much about military strategy I admit, but what does this add? Is that a special circumstance in military operations?
tanks and other vehicles don’t get stuck constantly
Otherwise the ground would be very sloshy mud, hard to move on
Just like WW2![emoji soypoint-1 soypoint-1](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/f60b272a-951c-4280-a407-a40408fc5aaf.png)
The wehrmacht was the most powerful army in the world. During 1 season out of the year lmaooo
It’s more convenient for large military vehicles.

I think that’s Newton’s first law of demotion
Everything was a muddy fucked up mess for a long time there
