Yes, start dates are fully moddable. Start it in 1914, 1933 or 1955 with an East-West setting. So, Yeah all it take is for someone interested enough & willing to learn how to do it. It will take some time, but it is not hard.

It was fun with the extra added challenge of playing Axis in my opinion.
I haven't tested: but would also be fun I guess to play Allies and try to get as much of Europe before Soviet or the opposite.

I think one of the main problems with combat AI in HOI III and IV is the huge number of provinces. The AI coped much better in HOI II/derivatives in large part to fewer provinces.
Well, yes. The AI has been very beatable in all versions, and has done some really whacky things over the years, or chooses to do nothing at all. That being said, I suppose the AI can't be too good or nobody would want to play against it.
My point about the expenditure of time into the game was really speaking to two different types of players. That is, those of us that appreciate the finer points of attack, defense, planning, etc., and those of us that want instant gratification. You can play HOI 4 at a faster speed and micromanage less. I suppose that my own prejudice comes from playing war board games. Invite a few friends over, play for 6 or 8 hours, leave the game set up, and play for 6 or 8 more hours the next day. I spent many a night until the wee hours playing The Rise and Decline of the Third Reich. Was an excellent game for its day.
