1. Actually, winter attacks have across history often made good practical and tactical sense. In deep winter when it's cold enough, the ground is hard again rather than muddy so you can travel more easily. It's also more likely that you will find your enemy huddled around their fires rather than scattered around during whatever chores and tasks they regularly have to complete. This was true on the Russian Front in World War Two and it was also true at Glen Coe in Scotland in 1692. However, if you are not prepared and equipped to travel in winter regardless of conditions because you really don't want to be caught in a winter blizzard - then it's not a good idea and you should stay close to your own fires but put out reliable sentries perhaps.
Wow, those tribal chief signatures are so interesting. I notice there's slight differences between a few of the cows(?), but I wonder if there was ever the possibility of signatures getting confused.

I hadn't considered the benefits of frozen ground or catching the enemy around a fire. Thanks for pointing both of those out.
