Not sure if this is the right place for the comment. Playing a skirmish of Battle Academy 2, Russia July 1942. Imagine my surprise when the
German AI player fielded nearly a platoon of Nashorn anti-tank vehicles. These vehicles did not even begin production till early-mid 1943, at least 6-9
months after to scenario time. With training time needed, the first units employed were at the Battle of Kursk, a year later then the scenario.
This is a major error in timeline, can this be corrected short of having to manually select the enemy order of battle?

There are a number of problems with the vanilla Skirmish generator. I created the Enhanced Random Skirmish Mod to fix these, and add a number of extra improvements. This is the forum thread about it:

But you can download the mod through the game's Download Community Scenarios button, see this thread if you don't know where that is:

Once you have installed the Enhanced Random Skirmish Mod, follow these instructions to use it:
How to use
Open BA2 and select "Skirmish" from the main menu. Click the "Advanced" button in the middle of the screen. Click "Use Default Data" in the bottom right of the screen. This will bring up a list of campaigns and mods that you have installed, so select "Enhanced Random Skirmish Mod 1.9". Then just select your Skirmish preferences in the normal way and click "Create".
cheers
