in what ways is the Stony Road mod more difficult than regular HOI scenario?

[unmerged(3522)]

I am playing the mod for the first time. It is the middle of 1937. I alrady have 90 divisions, while SU only has 120 (4 armoured) and France has only 70 divisions (2 armoured). I was just wondering if this is a normal progress of events up till this point, given that I have read that this mod is supposed to be much harder than the regular scenarios, but it doesn't seem so at this point.

watch out for landforts - they should be nearly everywhere

Try and attack someone, oh go on, you know you want to !!!!




Poland will fall, but when you try and take France & Benelux you will be surprised.

Ja!

after 3 tries (2 normal, 1 easy) I finally beat France.

Man. I got whooped by Poland after pouring ICs for 3 years into tank/mech/arty development. Maybe I should've used old-fashioned HoI approach and simply built tons upon tons of cheap MG tank divisions .

This is how it should be, you have to try, try better, try other, to finally get buttkicked by Russia

I am just about to kick off with the Ruskies in my current game.

Things are looking tough already, but I think I am better prepared than in previous attempts.
