Several Moscow 42 Questions

[Liebchen]

1) In Moscow 42 why do my ski troops move at the same rate in the snow as leg infantry? I thought they'd be much faster?

Most definitely because you need to be in T mode to benefit from skis. Otherwise their just on foot.

2) I'm going a little crazy with road movement...if I highlight a stack in travel mode and drag it a few hexes down the road, I expect it to move down the road, but often it shoot off into a snowy field for no apparent reason. Using the A/I moves does not seem much better, and it seems to cause units to straggle all over the place. Any tips on this?

Road movement is limited by the road stacking limits. Try moving your units down the road one unit at a time. And if they're not in T mode, they won't get the benefit of the road.

3) In general (not just in Moscow 42), how am I supposed to know when there is precipitation? I see that sometimes visibility is reduced for unknown reasons (precipitation?) and that there can be storms, but I guess that those represent major storms, not just a bit of rain?

In the info menu there is a weather button.

Limited visibility may be from precipitation or from fog.
