Just started first Multiplayer game.
1) Are the scenarios considered "balanced"?
2) Can you turn undo off?

Yes, these scenarios have been specifically designed to be balanced. If you are playing MP, you should not be able to use Undo function. If you can, it's a bug and we need to look into it.

Undo works on hotseat.
As for online/pbem the button is enabled but doesn't do anything. You could disable it to avoid future confusion.

The random map generator seems to make unbalanced maps mainly on Victory hex / supply hex distance to each player.
I have loaded up many multiplayer random gen maps and found often one player may have far more close victory hex than the others .. I know we love random but in a random script it would be common to say : X amount of V hex at X distance to player and maybe X amount of V hex at another distance etc to have it still random it could be + or - 1 hex etc but it must not be like in my last game there were 8 hex very close to my enemy start point and in my start point only 3 I could reach drive full speed in 3 turns .. This made the match unbalanced because of income earned even tho I was killing many more than the other player his losses could be recovered where I could not afford to recover mine.
In the random scenario we need more options i think to balance it by choice of country .
Choosing what year the game is then for example if its 1945 very late we dont want mix of tiger 2 and a pz2 since pvz is so pointless at the time.. I would think for balance if I could choose for example it was 1943 I would have some units from '43 some from 42 maybe some from 41 but not old out dated units. Also I see in random map the date says 1938 ? but it gives units from late 45 and also lets you buy from 1945
