Traversing the Winter Landscape.

It's not a winter wonderland here, more of the New York scenes from Day After Tomorrow.  Snow, sleet, freezing rain, a flash thaw, and a flash freeze make for exciting conditions as we traverse far and wide for basketball.  Four games Saturday, followed by AAU tryouts and, if Millie's team does well, a Championship game at 3pm Sunday.  


From a game perspective, especially a game where the Swiss are a major faction, it makes sense to institute some rules for Alpine Troops, but outside of qualifying for the biathlon, what advantages do ski give a unit in a skirmish setting?   I'm not pulling up many options.  Guess I'll need to do further research, perhaps with some chit-based wargames.  

Alpine Dwarfs from Old School Miniatures are the closest thing to Gnomes on Skis, and their sweaters scream more Scandinavian/Canadian than Swiss, but they are very nice figures.
