Tiger, I never buy the KingTigers unless I'm playing a newbie and then it's only for fun. What's a KingTiger cost? About 250? I can buy about 8 squads of Rangers with that. Who do you think is going to win that battle? In a real battle you don't want "all your eggs in one basket" as we say.
I suggest you start a campaign in 1939 as the Germans and just work your way through the war. As you progress, you will get to see the new equipment as it is introduced and you will have to learn tactics to defeat the other countries as there equipments gets better than yours. (e.g. try taking out a Matilda with a Pz38(t) using the Tiger and Panther tactics you've developed. You'll get crushed even by the AI.) The real fun and strategy of the game is in using limited resources to defeat a superior (or equal at least) enemy. I think it is OK to use the late war equipment to learn the mechanics of the game because you can make more mistakes and still survive to learn a lesson. But, once you know how the game works, you really should start in the early war years and learn some real combined arms tactics.
You should also play with all reality options on (limited ammo, reduced squads, breakdowns, etc. except C&C unless you like that kind of thing (I don't)). Unlimited rockets is really not a good way to play.
I'd be happy to PBEM you and teach you some things.
