* TruthInTelevision, at least in a strategic sense. [[ZergRush Human Wave Attacks]] can be used to wear down an enemy that you cannot overcome in a one-to-one engagement, but heavily outnumber. This is also the linchpin of Asymmetric Warfare, an attempt to nullify an enemy's strengths while wearing away at their resolve and ability to wage war. And in Russia's case, General Winter does his part to defeat [[ThoseWackyNazis any foe stupid enough]] to be campaigning during the cold months of the year.
** There's some as say that winter isn't the worst part of the year. In spring and fall, large parts of the steepes turn into swamps and it is almost impossible to get through whereas in winter at least all the mud and gunk is frozen. Summer is surprisingly hot, but at least it is possible to travel. If MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong, she does so by giving her inhabitants TrainingFromHell.
** A few real life examples can be found in the worlds of martial arts. The Gracie family and numerous wrestlers have been known to build up their stamina to the extent they would commonly have matches lasting into the hours waiting for the right moment to land a pinfall/submission/etc 
*** Body punching and leg kicking in boxing/kickboxing/MMA is an underrated part of a fighter's strategy to wither his opponent down to a point he can be taken out. Leg kicks severly reduces a guy's mobility, while body punches sap stamina and flat out just hurt more over the long run than a blow to the head. The old saying applies here: "Kill the body, and the head will follow."
