Maybe I could give that a go. Another way to create scenario without AI plans is an attack vs a well entrenched and well planned static defense. It can be challenging enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German side is attacking and has enough firepower to finish the job, if the player is skilled enough. Yes, it definitely is an option too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 If you add a small AI controlled spoiling attack or counterattack, that's it.....You've sussed the AI! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If you can write an AI script for one group, you can write one for sixteen.....Getting them coordinated to give the appearance of a deliberate and planned attack is the complicated part, but you don't need to do that for a spoiler or similar. Even running some reinforcements into position gets you started with scripting and from there it's just progression and patience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Bennett Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 And then there are scenarios like "Colossal Crack" the excellent cross section of Operation Goodwood. I really enjoyed that scenario. One of the tests of a historical scenario to me is how well does it compare to what really historically happened. I thought that scenario really nailed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been meaning to play that scenario for ages, but never came around to it. Thanks for the reminder, must have a look at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 It is certainly one of my favourites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
