    woods

    - open- visibility - 500m - movement half of normal- units become unformed  
     woods - dense  - visibility - 250m- movement 25% of normal - units become disordered
    streams - deduct 10m/10  
    fordable rivers    - deduct 20m/10 - units become unformed - arty NA  
    low walls/hedges  - deduct 25m- cavalry unformed- arty NA
    high walls/hedges    - deduct 50m - all troops unformed - arty NA
    entering buildings   - deduct 25m - cav and arty NA
    gentle slopes     - deduct 25% from normal movement rate  
    medium slopes - deduct 50%  
    steep slopes  - deduct 75%  
    extreme steep    - deduct 75% - unit unformed
