Battle for the Earth

The aliens have a sort of robotic aerosol they spray over cities to burn humans, but these nanobots struggle in cold temperatures, and get easily confused in hostile weather. There's a storm coming, and it'll give the Terrans an opportunity to push back the invasion. 
This article is a Mass Combat scenario between an advanced alien attack force and the remnants of the National Guard's tank battalion, a battlesuit regiment, and a bunch of snowbound locals who've taken up arms under Hogan's banner.
== Forces ==
=== Terran Forces ===
* Hogan's units are Impetuous, spurred on by Hogan's own impetuousness
* Hogan's units are experts in arctic warfare and will be more effective when fighting in snowy terrain
=== Alien Forces ===
* Mothership air unit is very powerful
* Superior numbers and technology, must be outmaneuvered
* Flying APCs can attack from the air
* Contragravity drones don't count as Air units but do move quickly, allowing them to support units from far away
* All-Weather units will have advantage when attacking during severe storms 
=== Both Forces ===
* Lots of armor, which will result in cool explosions and tank battles
* Night feature on both sides means attacks can take place at any time 
*Terran forces have artillery, but must be clever in using it during raids and fast attacks
*Alien forces have better Troop Strength, Air Superiority and C3I Superiority!
== Important Twists ==
Battles tend to be caught short when the Aliens call in reinforcements--Terran forces must attack quickly and escape before motherships arrive to bombard the area. In cases of non-contested terrain, they might even bombard from orbit--the whole Terran force might need to escape to a cave just before the world outside explodes.
