CCCP vs NATO long campaign (1948-1991)

[Mobhack]

In snow maps in WW2 I often buy some ski support grunts. The speed advantage is really great, if you are still relying on foot-sloggers rather than plentiful supplies of APCs. Can be good as desants, if dropped off the T-34 well short of the enemy positions (or they will be hosed off). Ski troops operate like regular summer-time infantry in the white stuff.

1950s still is near enough to WW2, so a few platoons of ski troop could well prove useful?.

(edit : if the USSR had Siberian ski troops post WW2. They don't - probably due to the lack of free slots in such a crowded orbat..)
