But if you want to take the realism to the next level, apply rough terrain layer below forested hexes. Infantry will have a hard time slogging this harsh entanglements, and vehicles will be even more likely to bog down (esp. on sloped rough terrain). This is perfect for simulating New Guinean jungles for example.

If you want no vehicles crisscrossing the wood, then use impassable hex.
Wulfir comment above is correct
Putting rough under flat woods will NOT cause breakdowns when moving through them as you cant move fast enough to trigger it.
It could as you enter the woods if do so at high just like normal rough.

Something like snowdrifts would be a nice option possibly, wont slow down if want to risk possible breakdowns.

Dragons teeth can be used, need engineers / engineering vehicles to clear a trail.
