winter attrition

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Yikes!
Playing the Bar scenario, about the middle of October , with only three small battles fought that turn, my casualties went from2000+ to 4000+ in one turn.
Very difficult game so far, but enjoyable. I found out that secaniro tactics don't work on the full front.

Pfft.  October is nothing.  Wait until the blizzards come!  [;)]

It has been a long time since I read about the War. I vaguely remember there was a horrible Blizzard at the beginning of December, which I remember as being described as the worst in years, and Mud in mid October onward, until the freezes and snowstorms.

Playing with historical weather on, is there somewhere to find the turns on which I can expect snow/mud/blizzard ?
