Correction to the list of changes, in the beta campaign the Germans will be superior until after operation Back Hand Blow so if you want a real challenge you need to play as the Russians. Remember to play as Hero with the timer set to 9min.
Also there is one rule in this mod you need to follow, because of the limitations of the game engine (or my modding skills) you are not allowed to buy the same armor/tank again. Lets say tank 811 from the 8th tiger companey gets destroyed, dont buy it again on the next day/battle or the mod will be far to easy.
