So you tell me, is my opponent "competent" or not, or is it irrelevant because the winter modelling is broken? Latter option gets my vote
Whether he's competent or not would depend on his and your losses, terrain captured is less important unless it was a lot more than the historical "benchmark". Your description of the cities you captured implies that at the least his chosen defensive strategy was not successful.
Like I said: the difference between historical Axis TOE's of 50% or lower with CV's of 4-5 at best, or TOE's at 80-90% with a CV of around 7 that gets halved isn't too significant. Currently, it's quite possible the game overcompensates for the ahistorical replacements the Axis seem to get (we're still trying to figure out what's causing that, Trey and I can't seem to figure it out) and thus higher TOE's by slashing them by a too significant figure, but the first blizzard turns would be at least just as bad with 30-50% TOE units.
