I never know mountain troops are supermens though. ....(I suggest insta-explov nades).Otto, your mountain troop's prototype actually looked like a bunch of super conscripts fight through a whole german army to get to safety in a fictional SU campaign.
The battle of Raate road, which occurred during the month-long battle of Suomussalmi, resulted in one of the largest losses in the Winter War. The Soviet 44th and parts of the 163rd Rifle Divisions, comprising about 14,000 troops,[107] were almost completely destroyed by a Finnish ambush as they marched along the forest road. A small unit blocked the Soviet advance while Finnish Colonel Hjalmar Siilasvuo and his 9th Division cut off the retreat route, split the enemy force into smaller fragments, and then proceeded to destroy the remnants in detail as they retreated. The Soviets suffered 7,000–9,000 casualties,[108] while the Finnish units lost only 400 men.[109] In addition, the Finnish troops captured dozens of tanks, artillery pieces, anti-tank guns, hundreds of trucks, almost 2,000 horses, thousands of rifles, and much-needed ammunition and medical supplies.[110]
Many different factions could plausibly use mountain troops squads in vCoH mods.
Who said anything about fighting through a german army?
Why do they get Air Drops
Bir Hakim was to be invested and attacked the next day on June 2 Groups in British and French went to continual raids on our lines of communication. It had to be stopped....Encirclement of Bir Hakim...On the night of 1 to 2 June, the 90th Light Division andthe division advanced towards Trieste Bir Hakim. After these two units had crossed without significant losses, minefields, the encirclement of the fulcrum was completed by the East... the attack was launched around noon, conducted by the Northeast Division Trieste, and South East by the 90th light, against fortifications, positions and minefields, established by French troops. The battle began ...continued for ten days with an uncommon violence. During this period, I assumed myself, several times, the command of an attacking force. On African theater, I have rarely seen more hard fighting. The French had appointed positions remarkably, they used foxholes, bunkers, location of machine guns and antitank guns, and all were surrounded by a broad belt of mines...Supported by the continuous attacks of Flight - between 2 and 11 June, day of taking the last French positions, the Luftwaffe attacks executed 1300: against Bir Hakim - assault groups, composed of troops from various weapons and taken from different units, pledged action in North and South. But each time, the assault was stopped in the fortifications remarkably established by the French. Curiously, the bulk of British troops refrained from intervention in the early days of the offensive against Bir Hakim. Only the Ariete division was attacked on June 2, but opposed a stubborn resistance the assailant. After a cons-attack made by the 21st Panzer, the situation stabilized....the assault was stopped by the fire of all weapons available to the circled. ..He was an admirable feat on the part of defenders...hat day, General Ritchie launched, south of Bir Hakim, a small diversionary attack against the elements protecting the flank of the 90th Light. Alongside detachments, motorized, he hired a tank platoon belonging to the 4th Armoured Brigade. We had no difficulty in repelling them.... Kesselring violently criticized the slow progress of our offensive against French troops. The fact that the Luftwaffe squadrons were constantly flying over Bir Hakim, where they suffered heavy losses (in one day, the RAF had shot nearly 40 Stuka)...I ordered the 15th Panzer reach Bir Hakim. The next day the French garrison was to receive the coup de grace. Unfortunately for us, the French did not wait. Despite the security measures we had taken, they managed to leave the fortress, commanded by their chief, General Koenig, and save a significant portion of their workforce...

Italian alpinis?*Awesome Robin Hood lookalike hats* They had detonate on impact grenades IRL ( SRCM 35/38). Though they didnt work, like didnt actually detonate on impact XD so well, so let it be a random abilety. When you throw it, it explodes on impact OR it doesnt and just lay there and will later on explode if somebody shoot at it, touch it, piss on it you get it! Like a butterfly bomb?*They are fast and dont react to heavy terrain! ( like the schwimmwagen!)*Italian weapons?* Everybody loves italians! <3
