Not suggesting that this is the "right way" or "better way" or anything such: just given that your one other game is an early-war one, the thought occurred.  Certainly one cannot go wrong with Elsenborn Ridge.

I tend to agree with this approach. In the past year or so I have played War on the Equator (Peru vs Ecuador), Hopeless but not Serious (Austrian vs German in the 1930's), Iron Wolves (Lithuanians), Fall of France, and currently Fire in the Steppe. I have always preferred early war stuff even if hypothetical. 
I'm kind of in the mindset to play a lot of early war eastern front right now, and gradually work my up to 1943. This gives a good representation of the Soviet armor development starting with old T-26's and through the introduction of the T-34's. Soviets in the early war are a tough side to play (don't expect to win with them very often) but they are resilient and as you progress from 1941 into 1942, and 1943, you'll see a marked difference in their abilities and capabilities.
