I'm playing as Germany and fighting against Soviet Union. Problem is, that at every winter my divisions what are located in frozen provinces have big strength losses and I haven't enough manpower to reinforce them at summer. What may be a good way to inure my soldiers with Siberian winter?

- Try to avoid moving/attacking too much during winter.

- IIRC the hospital techs reduce non-combat losses(attrition).

- I heard about a known bug that causes extreme rates of manpower depletion due to attrition in winter. I do not remember how is it produced and how to solve the problem sadly.

Winter Specialists and logistics Wizards both reduce cold-weather attrition.

Patch to any of the more recent versions of the game. That bug was fixed long ago.
