Rough Going

Rough Going [RGo] represents areas of rocky, boggy or brush/scrub covered ground. It impairs combat for both heavy foot and mounted troops, and reduces movement for the latter. Psiloi can ambush from RGo and are concealed upto 150 paces. The distinction between rocky ground & brush is important when using Camels since they treat the "rocky ground" as difficult going.
