Though having played a lot of MP games with EU I and II, I am facing 
the first with HOI (1.05b) within a couple of days. Before strating with this challenge I'd like to "test" my strategies. Or biggets problem with my best friend I will be playing with, what kind of settings to choose in order to keep HOI challenging enough (= not too easy) for human players.
It is obvious that for gameplay reasons we will play GER and UK as alliance leaders (+ only major powers being at war since the very beginning).
But we have huge headache which setting should be the best? We have to serious thoughts:
1) USSR must be strong enough to face the German invasion = hopefully no "Bitter Peace" (among others by the help of sharing UK technologies with the commies...)
2) to avoid creating an overpowered US before her war entry (as I have seen it so often: late 1939-early 1940 cca. 100 infantry, 20-30 panzer, 40-50 aircraft, etc.)
All in all, my dear experienced fellows, what do you suggest?
