Tried People's General but it got not only very complicated compared to Scorched Earth, but I found the music to be highly annoying and the combat to be all too destructive. Scorched Earth was perhaps unbalanced, but People's General is a dead certain way for you to lose all your experienced troops which become more and more important.

I managed to get to Stalingrad as China then I got fed up with just feeding the Mongolians and North Koreans to the grinder as the only way to save my experts.

I basically use my time playing:

Silent Hunter III... Custom modded.
Mount & Blade
Homeworld 2: Warlords: Star Wars (for the fun of building Star Destroyers)
And of course Battlefield II
