Re: PG2 update
I would seriously advise you to stick at 100% prestige and persevere at learning how to maximise the prestige you get, use as little as possible and avoid damage. Otherwise there is a temptation to get sloppy about how you use it and you will struggle in harder campaigns.
Do you use recon units? Knowing where the enemy units, particularly artillery and AD, are is crucial to keep the damage to your units down.
If a unit gets light damage of 1 or 2 points then put off reinforcing it if you can. If it takes heavy damage, particularly expensive units like aircraft, artillery or engineers, then consider if you can complete the scenario without building it back up again. Everything goes up to 10 strength for free between scenarios so don't take reinforcements during a scenario unless necessary.
In the Blitz campaign you should be taking virtually every flag on the map and destroying as many enemy units as possible to get the maximum prestige during a scenario.

Well, having done great playing the American campaign at 125% prestige, i figured I was ready to play fair, and went for Soviet campaign at 100%. Did ok with Saturn, but then ran unprepared into rather hard Prokhrovka (Kursk) scen. Even tried playing Saturn over again to be better prepared, no luck.
So Im taking baby steps, playing the Blitz campaign at 125%. Its a good bit harder now.
