Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Challenging level reduces morale and thus CV of units, also in EF.

ok... I guess I do not understand,
If you leave the EF the lower end do you not automatically lose the game as Germans?

The lower your EFB combat value the more likely the Russians are to advance and the more casualties you take. There is no auto loss, the Russians still have to clank their way across Poland. They will just do it a lot faster against less german defenders

No you won't automatically lose, it's just that the game starts during the summer, when the Soviet potential is very high (meaning they are preparing for an offensive) and thus the higher CV reqs in order to keep them from advancing. The CV requirement will change and most likely drop with time as the front narrows and the weather changes.
