I'm curious about the AI enhancements. Are they equal to the AI improvements in AoD and AoC? If not, how are they different? Also, do the improvements apply to all Campaigns and scenarios? Thanks for any info.

Does anyone ever not create Vichy France and if you don't, what are the game ramifications? Thanks for any info.

I'm about to start a 1914 Campaign as the Triple Entente. My question is can you keep Russia in the war if you play it well or is Russia leaving the war event driven so Russia will leave no matter how well they're doing? Thanks for any information.

After reading this thread, when playing vs. the AI, is there a limit on how many levels of intelligence research that should be gained so that the AI won't be hindered too much? Thanks for any opinions.

I recently purchased this package and I'm very pleased. I play vs. the AI in my games and the AI in this title is one of the best I've played against. I have a couple of thoughts on AI tweaks. The AI likes to assault full strength or almost full strength infantry units with cavalry units losing badly in the exchange. Perhaps the AI could use its cavalry against infantry mostly when the infantry is reduced to a certain level. Also, and perhaps this is a judgement call, but with the current supply rules I usually target a HQ unit when I can. The AI when it has a choice will often target the combat unit. I think that the AI should give a greater priority to attacking HQs than it currently does. I think that the AI in this game is excellent and my opinions are only to make it possibly even better.

Thanks for your information. I'm trying to decide about a purchase of Assault on Communism. I'd need to buy two games in order to play and this title has a WWII Campaign.

I just read the article on the Armchair General about the AI improvements in the Assault on Communism and Assault on Democracy titles. Are those AI improvements in this title, especially for the 1939 Campaign? Thanks for any info.

I'd also like to see some more info about tech upgrades, especially since there have been changes with the game's new updates. I'm not fussy, a mouseover, manual update or sticky thread would be very helpful.

Strategiclayabout, Thanks for your post and link. I'm playing the 1939 Campaign and that is what my question was about. Is supply the only major area of difference between WWI and WWII modeled in this title or should I be specific what I'm playing when I ask a question? Thanks.

Does an infrastructure research level increase add to the your supply values? It seems that I saw an across the board tile supply value increase after that research level gain but I don't see anything like that mentioned in the manual. If not, is there anything that will increase the supply value of your tiles? Thanks for any info.

I've a new question. Does AA stack? If I put an AA unit on a city tile where I have added AA to the city tile will I have two shots at attackers? Thanks.

Thanks for your help.

I built a Pioneer unit in the 1939 Campaign and the fortify mode has always been grayed out. I'm not sure how to use this unit. I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks for any info.

Bill, Thanks for your information. The way I understand it now, AA units you that can build will only defend the square they're in, not help protect an adjacent square.

I'm not sure about AA effects. I see that you can upgrade AA in cities etc. There are also AA units that you can build. What I'm not sure about is whether AA research helps the Corps units with a defense against air attack. Do you have to build AA units and station them near your Corps units so they have a defense against air attacks or will AA research give them an internal defense? Thanks for any info.

I'm enjoying the diplomatic aspect to this game. As the Central powers I've had good results influencing Bulgaria and Romania. I'm wondering in my next campaign about Italy. Is it worthwile to spend any MPPs on them in the hope of preventing or delaying their war entry or is their war entry mostly event driven so they'll join the Entente no matter what you do on the diplomacy front? Thanks for any opinions.

I'm really enjoying this title, great game!! It appears that the AI doesn't seem very interested in upgrading units. On the AI's turn I see that most units have the upgrade option icon and some units have two icons. I ordered the download and physical copy bundle. I received the discs today. I was suprised to see that the license keycode was not printed on either of the discs. Usually when I order a physical copy from other companies the code is printed on the disc therefore I don't have to keep a written record. Is this the norm for Battlefront or did my code somehow get skipped being printed on the disc? Thanks.

Thanks for your help everyone. I bought the game and really like it! I'm curious about something. What are differences in the WWII Russian Front Campaign included in this title vs. the upcoming Assault on Communism? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply! The reason I asked was that if I order the physical copy only, usually the copy you receive isn't patched at all, at least at other companies. I'm starting to lean toward ordering the download as well as the physical copy. Thanks again.

I've downloaded the demo and I like the game so I'm going to purchase the bundle. Would anyone like to give me an opinion on the best installation process to follow or does it make no difference on when you install the patches? Thanks.

Are the R, S und U hotkeys enabled for this title yet? When buying the package what's the best installation process? SC WWI then patch that title, next Breakthrough then the Breakthrough patch or is there a better installation process? Thanks for any info.
