You´re right.I played the game severel times and the AI was never really a match for me:
- in the east a defence line along Riga-Minsk-Kiev-Odessa was never broken by the German AI ,Norway and Greece never conquered and there is no reinforcement in Africa.
-the Allied AI lands always by Brest and there is no problem to push them back to the sea and the Russian offensives can be stopped along Koenigsberg-Warsaw-Carpathians
I think the AI is not agressive enough to be a challenge.
PS.Sorry for my English.Its now 5 years ago i had it at school.
