Houserules

I find that when you play Axis on even difficulty, FoW, oil use and use of reserch, I have no problem in taking Paris, Moscow and Perm in 1942. With USSR out of the war, you can just spend the rest of the time beating up on convoys and wipe out the Allies weak invasions in Normandy,- boring!
Or maybe invade Britain and take Canada,- pretty easy at this stage.
So I made up some houserules to make it a challenge to play Axis.
1: Max. advantage to the Allies
2: Axis can only reserch in General,- no more high-tech Panzers, Stukas, U-boats and Battleships in '41-'42!
This is also more realistic, because basicly the German units were not that more hi-tech than the USSR units in 41', - the Germans were just superbly led, had better organisation & tactics and the troops had combat-experience and were full of confidence after the victories i Europe.
It didn't help that Stalin had purged all the Russian competent officers in the 30', which explains how the Red Army made such a poor performance in the start of the war. But they learned...
Anyway, I hope that I will have more of a challenge on the East Front and mayby be bogged down in front of Moscow
Achtung Panzer!
Cheers,
