Almost had playtest yesterday too, but my NH gaming friend also got the big bad cold that's going around. I am happy that I've been dodging it!
Looking over Andy's thoughts, here's my commentary on them:
*Cliff: Infantry delayed, others prohibited*
I've gone with the same effect, but stated as +1MP to cross. Infantry only move 2, so the end result is the same with less wordage. Also leaves open the possibility of houseruled Jump Troops with 3 MP who also get slowed for crossing but not delayed.
*Mountain: Infantry Slowed (2MP/hex), Infantry +1D, Cannot Fire Beyond, others prohibited.*
This really depends on the tactical flavour you want for playing on the map. This could work well for some scenarios. 'Infantry only' makes a very large and central portion of the map usable only as an infantry slug-fest. 'Infantry slowed' doubles down for a very slow moving infantry slugfest with everyone only moving 1 hex per turn once they're in the mountains. When you are looking for a slow moving infantry slug-fest, these rules would do the trick. It does open up some tactical intrigue of reinforcements circling round on the road before ascending into the fray.
I think you mean D Doubled?
*Upon Terrain Destruction: Fixed 1-2 against all units in the hex*
That's certainly a simple way to handle danger to units. I avoided that in the first draft of the rules I'm starting with just for simplicity's sake. I'm aiming to keep the new rules to a minimum to start with on my playtesting just to avoid overly encumbering game play. I may well add this sort of idea later after I get a feel for how games are actually going and can start weighing how much more to add.
*Replace with 'Damaged Mountain' overlay, which is identical to Mountain except grants +2D. Like all 'Damaged' overlays, all forms of road are automatically cut.*
I would go with D Tripled if undamaged mountains are doubled.
