This is hard
Probably realistic but if I move something it dies.

Set the difficulty to easy, normal is the default.

I find it sometimes too hard as well, playing on normal and I keep using quick save/load too much.

Ive gotten a little better, I can move a few things towards the enemy and they survive 10 second longer with arty support

Always use the sniper's stealht movement, and his binoculars, and trasport him with armored scout car, so he can retreat and resupply very fast. Kill the enemy anti tank crew with him, and detect enemy groups, strongpoints to bomb them with your artillery.
If you play with the soviets, destroy the houses, narrow streets and other possible enemy gathering points with katyushas.
The allies are the strongest in the air, use their ground attack planes, they can destroy even the enemy AA guns without loosing to much HP.
As the germans, enemy air fleet are very dangerous for your panzers. Always keep moving your units, so they are harder targets. And try to have at least one Flak, so you can lure the enemy planes to your base.
And my last hint: try to use paratroopers against bases, cities behind the front, if the enemy has weak AA support. Your transport planes will deploy dozens of infantry, and they are very effective in close combat situation.

Thanks for the tips, these are really helpful. I do really like the game and I can see the potential. Yesterday was funny, I played Tobruk and rushed my army forward in a massive assault and drove all my suppy trucks to win the game in about 2min!

You must use some standard war strategies.

When you scout, always use weak units. Never scout with your best tanks.
If position is fortified allways shell it before advancing.
Never send your tanks without infantry support. Keep them in the rear. When your units spot machine gun nests or bunkers, order you artillery or tanks to destroy them.
Try to lure enemy fighter planes with your scout planes and place your heavy AA guns (germans 88mm , Soviet 85mm) as close you can. When your AA guns destroy all enemy fighter planes then you can send your bombers and close support planes.

Always disperse and entrench your artillery when enemy artillery is present. Improves your artillery's chance to survive enemy shelling. One of the best units are SPG 8mobile artillery). soviet SU -152s and german Hummels can destroy anything. Fire few round then move the to another postion and fire again. That way your enemy artillery will never hit them.

When you attack with infantry if you loose more than half of them, retreat them quickly and resupply your squads with resupply trucks.

Tanks always have weak rear and side armor. Use decoys to lure them and then try to flank them. Or you can lure them in minefield. When they drive on the mine they become immobile. Use your binocularus (spy or officer) to spot them and take them out from distance.

The game is easy for me. I can finish all missions in few hours (big maps) even without saving once.

Use optics,artillery,snipers and bombers.... without it, you are lost.

My default strategy years ago was to just relentlessly bombard the objective I was tackling first with artillery, and after I was certain I had done enough damage, sent in my armor to mop up.
