Hi Generals and Commanders,
I have a question regarding the first Russian Winter 1941. The Wehrmacht is hard hit I think January 1942 by their unpreparedness. Does this winter penalty apply to German units in Finland and Sweden?

The actual scripts would need to be consulted for a 100% accurate answer, with each coordinate in the script compared to the map, but from memory I don't think it stretches that far, possibly into a bit of Finland but certainly not as far as Sweden.

Hi Generals and Commanders,

the troops of the axis must be far enough from Leningrad not to suffer the Russian winter.
I remember that in one Game the distant units two Hexes from Helsinki were not impacted.

I have taken a look in the scripts but found nothing, it will be nice to know exactly what hexes are affected in Finland...

Units that are in the fortification east of Helsinki or in a hexe closer to Leningrad may be impacted by the Russian winter.
you can find the details in the script called Russian Winter.[;)]

I can not find it!!

This may be it its in the Strength folder

Country ID 116 is SU

Im not sure how to read the coordinates

To read this to understand where the script will impact, the first number is the hex location, and the next set of numbers are the range of hexes around that that will be affected.

The last number denotes the nationality that will suffer from the script. Where it is [0] then any Axis unit in that area would suffer.
