How to get to Manstein or change values manually?

I would like to be able to change the difficulty level to Manstein or something.
Problem: I finished the original campaign not with the America scenarios, whenever the tree allowed to go to America by a Decive Victory, I was waiting on purpose iot get a Marginal Victory just because I like to play the "realistic" scenarios much more.
I know for most players it's about winning, but for me it's about having fun.
Is there cheat-code allowing me to set the difficulty level or the individual attributes to what I like. I don't think this question is completely stupid since this was possible in PG1.
Or has the solution already been posted elsewhere?

I see how to unlock those difficulty levels as quickly as possible, however since I am within a campaign, I would have to start-over to apply this new level.
Can't I say from now onwards, I want to play at Rommel or have experience and prestige changed?

Yes you would. Currently, there is no way to change the difficulty setting of a campaign during the campaign.
However if you really want to turn on Rommel setting, you can use the cheats to give yourself negative prestige. Just cut your prestige rewards in half with the cheat, you'll get the same result.

There is also the regedit - trick:

Just take care using this method. And it's like with the code-method: you only can switch difficulty at the start of a new campaign.

Thanks, I will use that trick and apply Rommel when I start with the 41 DLC.
Fair enough, it's not before Russia that losses vs prestige=replacements were a serious issue.

You can use the "endscn 0" cheat on every scenario to quickly move through the campaign.
This cheat immediately give you a major victory on the current scenario, whatever the turn is.

And now 1.20 (or 1.22/.23) allow us to go into the "advanced settings", choose field marshall and then add 5 strength to all enemies

@BNC:
Certainly, however the difficulty would then be set to "Custom" instead of "Manstein". Not a big issue unless you play on Steam and try to get the Manstein achievement.
I think it would be could, that when the difficulty is set on custom the game would associate a number to custom to reflect the difficulty. Currently "Custom" could either mean super easy or almost impossible.
