I want to make a global mod, how do I start?

Hey, I'm kind of a beginner - I've never finished a full game. I just want to know if there are any tips or strategies people like to use? I usually play as the Axis on the European maps. I like to rush my tanks behind the front line of enemy troops and assult from behind - surrounding the enemy units and cutting off supply. I then bombard rear area troops, with my air units and forward elements, to weaken them and cause for reinforcement. I then squeeze each pocket down until the units inside are destroyed. I took it straight out of the book, but was so excited when I saw that it could be used in this game. The problem I find with it is that it requires a lot of units and usually ties down large battle formations for a variable amount of time. I get stalled and end up creating dangerous salients that are easily cut off.

Man, I love this game. It's awesome and I wish I had more time to make my own mods with the editor tool. But one thing that I dream about is this exact game, but better looking. Does anyone remember Panzer General II? The maps in that game were paintings; works of art. One of the things that draw me to the WWII genre is the contrast between ugly warfare and beautiful landscapes. The units look pretty good, but the maps don't really contribute to the experience. It wouldn't have to be 3D or particularly fancy, but maybe more visually interesting:o. Great work on the game, it's fantastic - can't wait for the next one!
