I couldn't--my opponents learn too fast for any scenario to get played 
twice.	After the second time, we'd both know it too well to make any 
screwups and the balance would be rapidly determined.

players don't play in certain periods with some nationalities as they 
know that certain combinations are ineffective, even though they were 
effective in WWII. For example, early war German tanks can't destroy 
French and English >tanks. Also, mid war German tanks can't destroy 
Russian tanks.

Which, quite frankly, is such crap.  Any tank can kill any other.  
Remember this.	I've seen the pictures of the Tiger taken out by 37mm.	
And the only game I know which models this fact of warfare is Dirtside 
II.  You pull the boom chit, the target is gone.  End of story.  Most 
games don't have that option.  Also regards those mid-war German tanks, 
PzIIIs _regularly_ scrapped T-34s.  Why?  Visibility out of the T-34s 
was so bad that, in combination with piss-poor crew training, the 
Germans generally could maneuver for flank and rear shots at close 
range and get them before the Russians realized what was happening.

Buy decent ECM and PDS for the heavy tanks that are the main targets.
