Well, it depends on how experienced one is, and what you are playing.
Generally, I no longer play generated battles so I only use them for testing purposes.
For prepared scenarios, if the battle is too difficult, try something like this:
Set your own preferences a bit higher. The ones I use for this are Hitting (120 or so), Infantry Toughness (120), Tank Toughness (120). That usually makes a significant difference.
If the scenario is too easy, Do the reverse and crank up the AI a bit. Normally, a prepared scenario will not be too easy.
In generated battles, I almost always set the AI preferences higher so it can play tougher.
Another approach is to turn the default troop quality off and set those to a number you like. For example, if I am playing against the Soviet in 1941, I will normally set German to something like 75 and Soviet to something like 70.
Almost any scenario will play more to your level if you make those sorts of adjustments. These can be set at any time during scenario play versus the AI.
PBEM/On-line requires that these judgements be made before the battle starts since they cannot be altered after play has started. This is the topic of lots of negotiation. :D
Anyway, it is a shame when a scenario is "dumped" because it is too difficult or too easy when the settings are so easily altered.
Give it a try. But, remember to reset your settings after playing because they "stick" in the infamous .prf file and have to be restored to your likes. If you cannot remember the defaults, merely delete the Steel.prf file located in the \SAVE folder. Then when you load up SPWAW, you have the original settings.
So it is easy and safe to experiment with preference settings.
