Hi All, I have recently been playing a series of games against the AI, in the context of Robert Oleson's campaign. In the last couple of battles I "rolled" a computer experience bonus of +1 and +2. In both battles, it turned out that the computer troops were of Conscript quality. I could have sworn by the way they fought (especially in the second battle) that they were veteran, in fact I was sure of this during the fight, and only found out they were conscript when the battles ended. I base this on the fact that squads were placed under repeated heavy fire and did not route (and after the battle I found out they took ~80% losses). My question is twofold. Firstly, how can the computer get Conscript troops with a +2 experience bonus, shouldn't they be at least regular? And secondly, could there be a bug in the experience presentation when one selects computer experience bonus, making veteran or higher troops look like conscripts? Before I get any RTFM responses , I would like to assure you that I scoured the manual for any discussion on this issue and found nothing that can explain what I see. Thanks in advance, Yair Iny
