I'm not going to answer each individually but fords show up when you move your cursor over them. We Didn't put up a big "cross here" sign so SOME thought is required to find a way across and a scenario designer may have put them in where they were historically ( though probably not so much ) or at least as a way to funnel the attacker in the area they are supposed to go

As for turning breakdowns off...... personal choice and personally I never do.....breakdowns happen .....$hit Happens.......We don't factor random breakdowns into the game but they happen in RL and in the wrong place at the wrong time could affect the outcome of a battle.

Every once in a while someone gets all bent out of shape over mud or steams or rough terrain and that's why we put the message in for rough because sometimes rough is hard to spot when combined with other terrain but a stream is dead obvious and using a ford is the best way other than a bridge to cross them......Mud is mud... a bane for motorized units since motorized units entered battlefields and if you are playing a scenario the designer may have put mud there to stop people from using that terrain.

If all of that bothers a player then turn breakdowns off or just accept whatever happens
