I would suggest adding 100-200 MMP to their starting balance, it would also allow them to mix up the game some.
The Russian winter needs to be toned down some as well... I have seen over 3k MMP dmg as common, this is way to much and it only affects one side... Winter is tuff on both sides. Maybe set a Max damage to 2k MMP. The Russian's should loose something as well... maybe a supply hit.
Thx for the Best wargame on the Internet! Love this game....
