Thanks for the answer. Maybe in an update this could be added - it wouldn't seem too hard. Most games of this type allow one to pick who to play as and against (germans vs. russians etc.).

Just got the game - this seems like a dumb question but I couldn't find the answer in the manual.

For random games, how do I select the regime I want to play (e.g. German, Russian etc)? I can change the AI level but not it seems the regime which are randomly assigned.
