Lithuanian,
I noticed you had nuclear weapons penalties set on low and critical UN unchecked....If you want a realistic sense of gameplay, I suggest checking critical Un along with starting with units....I doubt europe will fall so easily and if you are able to consolidate, dealing with the russians will take you a very long time since there initial army is huge...if i recall correctly they start with like 2200 units.....in a game where u start with no units, a combined arms force of about 150 units can take over anyone eventually.....Also if you do happen to unit europe...you could always try taking out the usa...that would give you one hell of a war there...washington isnt easy to take if you arent going through canada or mexico.......last bit of challenge advice, i only and always play iron man games...i suggest that as a keystone as well, ive never understood how someone can lose a war, some units or anything else and just reload there save....not saying you do that, just saying, takes the losses and the wins equally for a challenging game...
