Ave,
Very Cold and Snowy here. I think the troops need more than a paenulla and leg wraps to survive in this type weather. A nice warm permanent garrison would be best.
Seems like Europe has entered a new ice age! Given that I have mobility problems in this type of weather, what did the Roman Army do? I know that the campaign season was typically in the summer, but I am sure that along the Limes duty continued to include skirmishes and pursuits. irrespective of the season.
Is there a record of any combat in winter conditions, with ice, snow and severe cold ?
