Lakes and rivers are freezing. Process is not instant - icing grows and melts as weather changes.

will there be 1st winter penalties etc etc.

Yes

So will the weather follow history or be randomized?

You can choose to use random or historical weather.

I would think the majority of players are going to want "random" weather - since it would be a bit gamey otherwise - the German player would know exactly when winter weather effects would start, thus allowing him to plan his front line & start digging in, in anticipation of this.

That would be ideal. You know the rains and snows are coming just not which week/month.

just remember, you are going to have weather zones, so it is not the whole map that gets hit with this or that

weather will really stop you in your tracks
