I reccomend using the normal Scout section as a base, and swapping the transport around to match the seasons. Russian mud SUCKS for vehicles, and the snow isn't much better.
cavalry mounts for standard scouts are, IMO, the best bet for snowy or muddy forests. MC mounts are great in the late spring/summer on the open plains, and are one of the few things that will keep up with a T-34 formation, though they are PAINFULLY vulnrable. The Komsolets mounts do work well for slower armored columns, esp if you add a couple cheap snipers, or an ATR team to bulk up the patrol.
