Winter Warfare is a modification set during a fictional version of World War 2 were a new Ice Age has begun. The Battle of Britian fails and Operation Sealion is a sucsess, the Soviets are defeated at Stalingrad and Kursk, D-Day fails, Italy never surrendered and Japan invaded Hawaii. This mod tells the story after the main Allied Powers have fallen such as the United States, Britian and the Soviets, instead it focuses on the remaining allies as they fight in brutal winter weather aganist a huge Axis force.
Lacking in technological capabilities and support from its larger and undeniably more powerful ally, Finland only had older models of tanks to work with and was constantly on the search for low-cost solutions. But with the defeat of the USSR came a slight ease, and with it the opportunity to loot the battlefields and factories of what the soviets had been designing.
But the IS series of tanks was far too slow, judged the Finnish land forces, and far too big of a target, thus the army was stuck using the ever-ageing design that was the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger. Though it could still outcompete the Allies' medium tanks, there was the constant danger that something better may be developed that not even the legendary Tiger could withstand.
