Perhaps the questions and answers could be more specific?

The Soviet doesn't get any bonuses, he hardly needs them. As a sort of shorthand the game doubles the displayed value of Soviet CV, but the real CV effects are going on with the other side.

As for how to handle the first winter, well, that's a subject of fierce and ongoing debate. The Soviet strategy is pretty well settled by and large, and to some extent dictated by how badly the German overextends himself.

Note, this refers to the first winter only. Subsequent winters are "normal."

What does "normal" mean? Is there no penalty for the Germans in the other winters?

If not, there's a screenshot of the weatherzones on the WitE product-page.
