Adding Some Difficulty

[Mobhack]

Try setting the AIAdjustpercent ratio to say 120 for 120% more enemy.

Or, play an "underdog" country - Italy for example needs an experienced player IMHO. Or another minor Axis like Romania or Hungary - and don't cherry pick the few tigers/panthers they only had a dozen of, if such are available late war.

If Germans are your forte - then take a third-line force and keep to the old recycled captured junk they had. Only 75mm field guns for arty, the Marders at best for AT work (Hetzer at a stretch late war) and so on and so forth, an Ost-inf company in your core, whatever. Tow your flak/mortars/arty with horses, too!

Naturally - you can do the same for a Russian force, or start a campaign as USA with the "green" infantry companies.

Basically, limit yourself by keeping away from the "kewl" stuff.
