Just finished Storm over Europe Campaign as Axis

[CSSS]

Played on Intermediate level. Balance is a lot better. Although I did not make Historical gains in Russia by any margin
on the initial Barbarossa, I was able to hold , grind my was to victory in Nov of 1944. The use of artillery, and Air force is 100%
Necessary to break through a front or take a defended area.The casualty rate is excellent as units take losses. On older SC games
Playing against on of my friends
was a miserable experience he would get +5 elite units and would destroy my forces and take no losses. That is why I still want a Human PVP equalizer option
on player to p[layer. He would play DOZENS of games by himself so as to know what options came up when to play a decisive game VS his opponent. I did not have that much time or fanaticism to do. A simple balance mechanism would help the less fanatical victory at any cost players. I will not ever invite him to a game again without a PVP +play balance.
Now starting a 1939 as allies VS German.

I concentrated research initially on industrial technology, fighter and infantry
