 | | Jungle warfare in modern warfare first surfaced in World War II, and created new tactical problems related to the closeness of the terrain, the difficulty of movement through the terrain, particularly for the modern motorised armies that were dominating the European and North African theatres of war. |
 | | Due to the closeness of jungle terrain, and the small land masses of some of the islands, combat unit sizes were smaller than the European standard, with Brigades/Regiments being the larger organization of deployment, whereas in European theatres this would have been Divisional deployment. |
 | | In ASL, the movement restrictions of jungle terrain are somewhat lightened for the sake of playability, which is probably a bad thing in that it gives a false impression of jungle movement. |
