    I think that overall most disaster saves aren't too difficult, usually you can leave one side on the defensive and attack on the other and the AI doesn't have the intelligence to spearhead an attack on a weak point as opposed to just attacking the whole front then losing org, then it just becomes a victory lap going around nations and capping them which is entertaining sure but still pretty easy

Instead of using any German ports you use the Dutch one at the top of Netherlands (Leeuwarden) because for some reason the game will think the only sea you need to control is the North sea this will allow to focus your navy solely in the North Sea tiles. Hope this helps you or anyone who sees this.
