Wars are already messy, but if you're unlucky you'll have to fight two enemies: the opposing force... and the weather. Come wintertime, you better hope you're not in a place known for constant blizzards. Winter or arctic warfare is one of the most notorious kinds there is. Freezing temperatures, heavy snow, ice. This can play havoc with vehicles, which have to be kept running all the time or at least started up a lot. This, naturally burns fuel. Infantry have it the worst. They will need warm clothing, blankets, something to generate heat, extra food, and shelter. Weapons jam in the cold, icy weather. Sentries and infantry get frostbite and patrols that get lost die from hypothermia. During times like these you can expect to see specially trained arctic unit soldiers starting to come out of the woodwork. Men and women who are hardened for the cold and can be relied on in these situations. They may often employ skis, or snowmobiles. Experienced winter units have white camouflage uniforms and the vehicles are painted white. If you're really unlucky, you may find yourself in a winter battle that takes place in a city or on a mountain. Urban Warfare is just as notorious and has its own trope. Combat in the mountains is just as bad because of the terrain. Better hope you're not fighting in a city, on a mountain, in the snow. This is why nobody invades Switzerland. In fiction, winter battles can be used a lot because it can really drive home just how hard the heroes' fight really is. If it's a work based on a Real Life event, then a winter combat scene will show up simply by virtue of whatever unit they are following being part of some kind of winter offensive. Video games will often incorporate it because it gives them a chance to whip out some cool winter gear, like snowmobiles. Sister trope to Urban Warfare and Mountain Warfare. Compare Weather of War, which is a more generalized version of this; Hostile Weather, which is also a generalized version that covers non-military settings; and Battle in the Rain, where instead of a snowy winter you have a rainstorm. Contrast Battle Amongst the Flames. An Ass-Kicking Christmas might overlap here if it revolves around Christmastime. Contrast with Jungle Warfare, where it's the heat and the humidity (aside from the jungle itself) that can kill, as well Desert Warfare, where it's the heat and vastness of a desert that can kill. Closely related to Snow Means Death. Examples |

Company of Heroes 2 features the battles on the Eastern Front, and as expected, winter is a vital factor. If a squad is out in the open for two long, they will freeze to death, no matter if they're German or Russian. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: In The Oathbound, Tarma and Kethry end up working for a mercenary outfit that gets embroiled in a winter siege due to its incompetent leader. The effects are brutal, as the mercenaries have inadequate supplies and gear for it and are forced to huddle in tents that are wet and barely warmer than the freezing surroundings and many become sick. Tarma ends up quitting and riding back to the mercenaries' winter barracks where she finds that she inspired the rest of the outfit to mutiny and quit due to their contract having been negotiated in bad faith and their employer having failed to hold up their end of the deal (which their leader had kept from them). | |

The Empire Strikes Back: The Rebels have relocated their main headquarters to Hoth, an icy, snow-covered planet. When the Imperials come knocking, it brings us the Battle of Hoth, one of the most iconic battles in the series as the Rebel Snowspeeders face the overwhelming might of the All Terrain Armored Transports, the AT-ATs. And as if freezing temperatures, blizzards, and an Imperial attack force weren't bad enough, there are also the Wampas. Luke found out the hard way just how mean these things are. |

During the semifinal match against Pravda in Girls und Panzer, the Ooarai girls found the going slow on the snowy ground. Hippo Team even hung a lampshade on the situation when they said that snow, Russia, and warfare reminded them of Stalingrad. They nearly lost heart while huddled under blankets in the abandoned church, but resourceful Team Hippo was able to utilize the snowy roads to ambush Pravda's flag tank. | |

Fire Emblem occasionally has battles set in snowy environments, where the snow is a hindrance to cavalry and armored troops and snowstorms can obscure visibility. In Binding Blade and Blazing Blade, the country of Ilia is a poverty-stricken arctic land whose one major export is Pegasus Knight mercenaries, and in Binding Blade there is an entire campaign arc that takes place there. | |

In Valkyria Chronicles 4, the failure of Operation Northern Cross is largely attributed to the winter season starting two months earlier than expected, straining the Federation supply lines. The second half of the game begins Operation Cygnus, when the Federation deploys three icebreaker battleships to sail the Crystal Sea and strike the Imperial capital of Schwarzgrad from the ocean. Every battle from then on takes place on snowy and icy battlefields. | |

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: Of course, the Joes in general (being an elite unit) need to be able to fight in any condition, blizzards included. The Joes have several soldiers who are specialists in winter combat, including Snow Job and Frostbite. Alpine might count as one simply because he is the Joes' mountain expert, and mountains often have snow depending on how high up they are. A number of episodes have battles with COBRA that take place in winter or arctic conditions. One episode features a three-way fight between the Joes, COBRA, and the Russian Oktober Guard (their version of G.I. Joe) in Alaska. Another one had the Joes and the Oktober Guard join forces in Russia to protect Ivan the Terrible's tomb from COBRA, who were trying to steal DNA from the world's greatest military leaders and bloodiest tyrants to create Serpentor. Speaking of the Oktober Guard, they themselves are cold weather experts simply because they're Russian. The above mentioned battle at Ivan the Terrible's tomb took place in the midst of a fierce blizzard. Snow Job, one of the Joes that specializes in winter warfare, admits that Russian blizzards are pushing it even for him. He then complements his Russian allies on their ability to withstand it. |

The Briggs arc in Fullmetal Alchemist fits the bill, including one battle against the giant homunculus Sloth where they have to use the elements to their advantage to immobilize him. The entire Briggs battalion is a military unit specialized for arctic warfare and charged to guard the border from intrusions from Drachma, the country's belligerent northern neighbor, and they directly credit the unforgiving conditions for turning them into the most Badass Army in Amestris. | |

During a first season episode of Highlander, there were flashbacks to when Duncan and Darius first met on a snowy battlefield, with Darius treating a wounded colleague of Duncan's. The scene was supposed to be the Battle Of Waterloo (which took place during the summer), but a freak snowfall the day of shooting forced them to Throw It In!. | |

World of Warcraft The Wrath of the Lich King expansion has several campaigns, not the least of which was the siege of Icecrown Citadel itself, taking place among the snowy, icy regions of Northrend. The classic battleground "Alterac Valley", which is a battle between the dwarven Stormpike Guard and the orcish Frostwolf Clan taking place among snowy mountains. |

The Winter War by Antti Tuuri, obviously. Temperatures go below -40 Celsius (the same in Fahrenheit). On one occasion the narrator has to cut his hair with a knife because it has frozen onto the surface he has slept on. Also mentioned is the propaganda narrative about winter being an adversary only to the Russians and helping the Finns, which is not exactly the view of the men on the front line. | |

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The mission "Cliffhanger" takes place on a Russian military base high in some snowy mountains. Soap and Roach have to do some ice climbing to reach the base, use the blizzard and low visibility to hide themselves from the guards, and escape on snowmobiles. Several multiplayer maps take place in Alaska and other cold places. |

Grey Skies Universe: In the second installment, Every Generation, Canada eventually proposes and adopts "the Russian Strategy" of using the natural environment and terrain against the British in combat, after receiving training of it from Russia himself, who is subjected to this in the source material. Among these strategies is allowing the fighting to bleed into the wintertime, and taking advantage of the fierce snowstorms of North America to ravage the Brits. | |

Medal of Honor (2010) has its last two missions take place on a snowy peak on the Takur Ghar mountain range of Afghanistan as Rabbit and Voodoo are left behind during an evacuation and a U.S. Army Ranger team has to be scrambled to find them. These missions are based off the real life mission to recover Navy SEAL Neil Roberts during Operation Anaconda in 2002 which saw U.S. Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman posthumously awarded a Medal of Honor for his heroic Last Stand on the mountain holding off over 25 Al-Qaida fighters on his own. | |

An earlier Russian example: in April 1242, Prince Aleksandr Nevsky defeated an invading army of Teutonic knights by luring them onto an icy lake. The lightly-armed and armoured Russians were able to retreat to safety, but the heavily armoured and mounted German knights regretted their impetuous charge - they went right through the ice and drowned or froze (possibly- contemporary writers don't mention this, and it's possible the idea of the crusaders falling through the ice was invented by Alexander Nevsky). The defeat ended the war and the Germans learnt a lesson they'd forgotten seven hundred years later - never fight Russians in winter. | |

The producers of Hogan's Heroes decided to have the show set in perpetual winter to maintain a sense of continuity for episodes being aired out of order, and to avoid having to switch out wardrobe and set dressing for changes of seasons. Because of this, every episode has patches of snow on the ground and roofs, frosted window pains, and the characters' uniforms consisting of jackets and caps. Unfortunately, because of California Doubling, the surrounding trees were full and green, and the actors are occasionally seen sweating. | |

Red Dawn (1984). The final part of the movie takes place during the winter. The heroes have now switched to winter camo. Unfortunately, this is when the Russians start to crack down hard on the resistance. | |

Valak Mountain in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is a beautiful snowy mountain... and is also the place where you first encounter Egil, the leader of the Mechon. Similarly, the Kingdom of Tantal in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is situated on a frozen turtle Titan called Genbu. The climactic battle of Chapter 6 takes place deep in the depths of Genbu when Torna tracks the party there, and fittingly ends when Jin, a Blade who specializes in ice powers, unleashes his One-Winged Angel form. |

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 The prologue mission is in a cold environment, possibly Siberia or Alaska. Later on, one chapter of the singleplayer campaign takes place in the Andes Mountains. One mission even involves Marlowe trying to find his squadmates after getting separated in a blizzard. Marlowe must keep himself warm by either seeking shelter in buildings or standing near fires caused by explosions. Staying too long out in the blizzard will eventually cause a game over. |

BattleTech: Optional rules for snow, ice, and blizzards exist in the game, and some planets are noted for their extremely cold climates. Tharkad, the capital world of the Lyran Commonwealth, is in the middle of an ice age and is known for being quite cold (though Single-Biome Planet is averted, as it still has a narrow tropical band at the equator) while other planets are even colder. | |

Patton. Eventually the movie comes to Patton's famous charge towards Bastogne to relieve the 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge.

The third-to-last installment of "Golden Eyes" and Her Hero "Bill" describes the aftermath of a pitched mid-winter battle between American and German forces of WWI, focusing on the protagonist's (a Red Cross nurse) search through the frigid battlefield for her beloved. Tears freeze to her face in the cold, and when she finds him injured and unconscious the narrator's caption describes the "red badge" of blood that stains the snow around his hastily bandaged wounds. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Since conditions in the North are almost always winter-like, most battles up there count. This is especially true around and beyond the Wall, where its even colder and harsher. Most notably, Stannis Baratheon's march to battle the Boltons for Winterfell takes place during a heavy snowstorm. He loses tons of men and supplies to the cold before he even reaches the castle walls. | |

In the air, Resistance starfighters breach past enemy space defenses and attack from above, in an attempt to destroy the base. On the ground, Han, Chewie, and Finn attempt to infiltrate the base to sabatoge it's power source and rescue Rey. Eventually there is even a lightsaber fight with Rey and Finn vs. Kylo Ren amongst the falling snow. | |

World in Conflict The game has a bunch of missions like this. The most notable one takes place in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. The Americans attempt to fend off a Soviet attack on a military base that houses the secrets of the Star Wars missile defense technology. The battle comes to a head in a town not far from the base. So we have a case of winter warfare, combined with Urban Warfare, combined with mountain warfare. So it's probably no surprise that a tactical nuclear weapon is deployed during the battle. Luckily the mountain terrain is played down, but the comments from the characters make clear that it's no picnic. There are also missions that take place in Russia during a NATO raid on a Soviet naval Base. The Soviet Assault expansion pack adds some Soviet winter missions to the fun. One that takes place in Norway against the cold weather experienced Norwegian Army. And a mission where the Russians race back from Norway to fight off the NATO raid mentioned above in Russia. Oddly enough, the Soviet battalion that the game follows does not participate in the Cascades battle, with Romanov commenting that he was happy not to be part of that operation, and was ashamed of it. |

Golden Kamuy begins with a prologue set during the Russo-Japanese War depicting the final assault of the bloody Battle of Hill 203, which took place in early winter. The main plot itself is set on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido (and later Sakhalin), well known for its bitterly cold winters. As such, the freezing weather and hungry wildlife are as much of a danger to the main characters as are the violent criminals and deserting soldiers they encounter. | |

Callof Duty Call of Duty has winter battles taking place during all 3 campaigns at one point. The American campaign has the Battle of the Bulge, the British campaign has the Siegfried Line campaign, and the Soviet campaign has the Battle of Stalingrad and the Vistula-Oder Offensive. Call Of Duty United Offensive's new American campaign takes place solely during the Battle of the Bulge, from the defense of Bastogne to the attack on Noville. Call of Duty 2's entire Soviet campaign takes place during the Russian winter during the Battles of Moscow and Stalingrad, and because of this all levels also overlap with Urban Warfare. Call of Duty: Black Ops has "Project Nova", where a Soviet unit which includes veterans Reznov and Dimitri is tasked with capturing a German scientist named Friedrich Steiner at a derelict Nazi rocket facility in the arctic. Naturally, the Waffen-SS unit stationed there would rather die fighting than face captivity. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The mission "Cliffhanger" takes place on a Russian military base high in some snowy mountains. Soap and Roach have to do some ice climbing to reach the base, use the blizzard and low visibility to hide themselves from the guards, and escape on snowmobiles. Several multiplayer maps take place in Alaska and other cold places. |

Medal of Honor Medal of Honor: Allied Assault has the first part of the second level, which takes place all the way in Norway, and the fifth level, set in the Hurtgen Forest along the Siegfried Line. The Spearhead expansion, meanwhile, has the entire second level, set during the Battle of the Bulge near Bastogne. Medal of Honor (2010) has its last two missions take place on a snowy peak on the Takur Ghar mountain range of Afghanistan as Rabbit and Voodoo are left behind during an evacuation and a U.S. Army Ranger team has to be scrambled to find them. These missions are based off the real life mission to recover Navy SEAL Neil Roberts during Operation Anaconda in 2002 which saw U.S. Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman posthumously awarded a Medal of Honor for his heroic Last Stand on the mountain holding off over 25 Al-Qaida fighters on his own. |
