Single Player - Max Computer Bonuses

[crispy131313]

I just played through my first full campaign (vanilla - no mod) as the Allies against the AI with full bonuses (+2 spotting, +2 experience, +20% MPP) and wow this was a tough campaign. I had a feeling the bonuses, particularly the experience would be needed since I've been a long time player of the series, but overall I was taken back by what a challenge it was. For single player gaming I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back from these handicaps, at least in World of War. Anyone who hasn't given it a go at the max level really should try it, especially if you are used to mopping up the AI.

Gj crispy. I think i did that once as Allies myself, its a tough game. If you want a, "and now for something completely different...". Play as Axis and DOW on everyone in the first turn. Everyone. USSR, USA, the whole world, even Honduras. You have to do Finland first, then Rumania, Hungary,and Bulgaria. Because as i recall, because they join you if you DOW on USSR before them. Beware the Hungarians, because they'll come up thru Austria if you dont block em in the south.

That's a bit borderline crazy lol

I've been fairly comfortable modding so don't really lack for "something different" as there is a tonne of variability to add to the game at your finger tips. Though I do enjoy a good challenge from the AI at times.

Any tips for playing with Allies on expert level ? I would assume holding China is pretty hard. It was even on normal difficulty level.
