Sorry to kick the can again...

Soviet Ski Battalions can be formed 11/1941. They have a combat bonus in snow and blizzard. Unfortunately they enter the game with base experience of eg 13 so they will not be combat ready until after the snow is just a memory.

Balance is of course important for a fun game, but one of the best things with WITE is that the game aims for and are quite realistic. I do not think that any balance changes should be done as a separate goal, instead the goal should always be to change the game so it becomes as realistic as possible. Keep on updating WITE when a more realistic alternative for different things in the game can be found, and not for the sake of balance. Balance can instead be regulated by changing victory conditions and/or by house rules.
