Tracked vehicles are quite good at smashing their way through woods
by knocking trees down. Lacking traction GEV and Grav vehicles don't
have this option.
I would perhaps suggest allowing GEV, Grav and Hi-Mob Wheeled to
move through light woods by moving round each tree in their path
hence Difficult. Perhaps limit this to the smaller size classes.
Keep Dense Woods as Impassable.
Of course, in some backgrounds Grav vehicles can fly over the woods.
Not much good if you want the cover though.
