Depends oh weather and how much snow there is.

Exactly. There's a reason very few modern games have much snow. And in the modern games that do have snow, there's a very thin (2cm) layer of snow only. Wireframe rendering of snow requires a lot of polygons.

Perhaps use a bit less grass in some areas? Unless its the first snowfall of the year, the grass is generally not very visible + saves resources.

Next update 18/10, minimap included. 
1024x2 push map, 75% of historical accuracy. 
Attacker: 3rd Inf Div. 
Defender: 352nd Volksgren Div. 
5 capturable flags +1 uncapturable, ground battle with few tanks and no air support for both side. 
Americans get 1 Sherman 2 Stuart 4 halftracks and some mortars at the beginning of the round, while Germans have only 1 StuG 4 Sdkfz234(1 stuka zu fuss) in homebase but heavy defences filled with Pak40 and MG42 along the north bank of the Sauer, as well as a artillery battery consists of LeFHs and Nebels in Brandenbourg, where 352VG HQ located in. (In real life Patton drove his men into hell without artillery brushing) 
US troops must push straight north, get control of Ettelbruck&Diekirch and then 2 keypoints, Bastendolf&German outpost(defensive position in woods), in order to storm german division headquarter itself.
After allied secured Diekirch, the first objective of the offensive, krauts get a Panther as reinforcement while a M10 will spawn to deal with. There is a hidden control point coverd by trees just north of Diekirch, which can only captured by US and spawn there to simulate the situation of Diekirch being surrounded by US according to history. 
WIP status: 66.6%

I get a virus warning when clicking your link.

other than that: Nice, I didn't know they had winter skins in (or did you skin that Panther?)
I guess the ardennes really are the next scenario  ;)
Guess i better not click  :)
