Realisim. Ok, we're talking about a game that plays in miles. There is only so much information that can be relayed on this scale. Yes, there can be damage to an area that is not shown on the map. Conceder a city, how many buildings are in hex? Which ones are damaged from battles that did not affect the hex as a whole? Is there really enough cover for the infantry to hide in?

Too detailed.

Only damage that is enough to affect units are shown. So, if you are in a hex that has a Road Cut marker, then there is not enough road to give a road bonus when entering or leaving. At this scale, the road just isn't there.
