Mars is smaller than earth, so the dynamics would be less. There is talk of restoring Mars's mag field so there would be a shield against solar storms, but this is associated with restoring Mars's atmosphere somehow. Why don't we put 2 and 2 together?

Your hypothesis. The truth may well be the reverse, namely that the presence of a magnetic field may provide the necessary protection for an atmosphere to form.
