I am thinking Sudden death, No 1-1 to 2-1, Forts at 50%, No Para drops at all, limit all bombing to 3 attacks per hex except T1 Axis airfield attacks, no HQ bombing unless stacked with another unit, Mild Winter, might even go with random weather, not sure. Maybe that will be more like WWII than WWI.
You may want to be careful about some of these options until you have some experience with the mild first winter. For what it's worth, Loki and I recently played the Typhoon scenario two times, switching sides. We used the mild winter option and neither of us as the Soviets had much success during the blizzard counterattack. Admittedly, the scenario runs only through the end of December (5 blizzard turns) and not the whole winter; further, in this scenario the Red Army starts by design in terrible shape, far worse than a competent Soviet player would have it at that point in the campaign.
Nevertheless, both of us found it very difficult to make much headway with the Soviets during December, and that was with the 1:1 rule. Speculating into the future when 1:1 will be an optional setting, if you have both mild blizzard and no 1:1 rule then I fear that may be too much disadvantage to the Soviet side. Once we have version 1.08 these two options, among others, will be valuable IMHO as a way to balance the game depending on the relative skills and styles of the two players.
