AXIS AI vs Human Soviet

[delta107]

I was considering to start a campaign by playing for 1-2 turns as the Germans and then switch to the Soviets so as to cause myself maximum damage more closely to historical losses etc. Is this viable or after turning on Axis AI it's going to work badly? I realize Axis AI isn't that great, what options do you recommend to make the campaign tough as the Soviets? How much morale bonus to the Axis? Thanks

I do not know. But your question helps me with the general design dilemma for wwii games. In this scenario you have Russian player who knows turn 1 how great the blow will be and how extensive will be the German advance and how Russian forces will perform. In reality the Russians thought they could make fight of it. A human Russian vs German AI 41 scenario should start when the Russians accepted the disparity between the forces and adjusted their strategy.
