A CC mod Winter War was created for CC5 which concentrated on the Southern front, NW of Leningrad, where the heaviest troop concentrations were.

This mod is still available on the Close Combat Series website; http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/index.php in the Downloads / Close Combat 5 Mods.

BACKGROUND:

The original Winter War mod was made for CC4 by Luer and moloch in 2001.
Then the mod was converted and substantially updated for CC5 by Kartboy6, PzEddiea and the rest of the mod team. Their final version was v1.3 released in 2004.

Since I have always liked the mod I have converted/moved it to TLD

CHANGES IN V2.0 for TLD Nov. 30/2020:
1) Ported mod data/graphics from CC5 to TLD adding the following TLD features;
- added historical weather
- added night battles based on how cold/warm the weather was. They mainly occur early and late in the GC.
- adjusted air, artillery and mortar support based on level (Recruit = most, Elite = least )
- enabled BG retreat feature
- enabled surprise so the Axis/Finish player can not move the 1st turn
- fixed ammo count (AlsTeams, AxsTeams & Soldiers)
- fixed best kill and best mount (Vehicles)
- fixed single battle start random crash, it was due to random wreck selection and not every vehicle had wrecks (Vehicles)
- fixed map coding as building walls were not solid *** still a few maps to go but wanted it released today ***
- Recreated Battles/Operations/Campaigns in TLD editor
2) Changed Finish Artillery/Naval support from 0 quantity and made it available for select maps due to Finish coastal batteries
3) Changed Russian Artillery/Naval support to be available on all maps
4) Changed soldier graphic file to get smaller soldiers (closer to the map and vehicle scale)
5) Changed (US) circled star to only a star for Russian BG info icon
6) Change Naval Support icon to Artillery
7) Created a Winter War icon file
8) Changed Heavy Snow so it can be crushed to Light Snow
9) Recreated all the map OVM and MMM (zoomed out) files with trees
