I dont see how anyone is supposed to last until the late game with the insane amount of infantry early game. If you are agressive and try to cut them off, its impossible to protect all sides adequetly from the mass of conscripts. If you take a small amount of ground and hol, you get shelled out by the 4 minute off map arty, or the mortar/mini howitzer. MG's have to be permanantly baby-sat to stand a chance of survival past 5 minutes, and this doesnt give you the opportunity to play expansively and take the resources you need. The whole thing gets a lot worse in 2v2 or more, but i realise the purpose is to balance 1v1 first. The only possible suggestions i have so far are to increase the production times of the conscript and the engineers (how much i cant say as i have only played the mod for 6 hours), increasing the upkeep of the troops slightly, and finding some way of delaying the off map arty to around the 10 minute mark instead of 4 minutes in. Looks like it could be really fun so far, once a couple of balance patches have been released of course
