General mud

[Hansag]

Watching "The Great War" and apparently 100 years ago, General Mud was apparently starting a campaign in Russia.

Got me thinking if division "weight" affects how large a reduction a unit gets in movement and combat performance. (thus, lighter units would move more swiftly in rough terrain, but even large numbers of light infantry would make mud muddier)

Well, any man or vehicle is definitely going to be adversely affected by GENERAL MUD (called Rasputitsa by the Russians) unless you have tractors, prime movers, tracked vehicles like the Sdkfz and of-course Tanks. The Germans built some 10000+ Ost Tractors (fully tracked Prime Movers) for moving their artillery guns on the Eastern Front. The whole conception of the Sdkfz series was based on the reports of WW1 due to adverse muddy conditions on the Eastern Front.

Or you could research Ice-nine and just ignore the mud.
