Edwin P. Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I was just thinking that (assuming SC2 covers Europe) the UK should have a Defend the UK AI routine that activates in the event of a German Sea Lion and the Italians should have a Defend Italy AI routine triggered by a serious allied threat to Italy. This would allow each of these powers to wage a stronger defense of their homeland. After the threat is eliminated then the country should switch back to its normal AI routine. 1. UK - Defend the English Isles AI Routine 1a. Reclaim all tech investments 1b. Produce corps to protect London 1c. Garrison London, Manchester, Edinburgh 1d. Naval units stay at extreme range prepared to attack transports. If the US enters the war it should consider sending reinforcements to England via the north of Ireland and the south of Ireland. This will ensure that at least a few US units reach England as the Axis AI will be too weak to cover both approaches. If Russia enters the war while England is fighting an English Sea Lion it should consider sending a unit or two via transports to England, if the Northern German fleet has been sunk or is located in the Atlantic and Edinburgh is controlled by the UK. 2. Italy - Defend Italy AI routine 2a. Italian HQs in the field operate to Italy 2b. Italian units can not leave Italy until the allied invaders are driven from Italy. 2c. The Italian AI reclaims tech chits and uses MPPs to to garrison Italy with corps. 2d. Italian units in cities will not attack unless the destrucion of an enemy unit is certain. Question: Why does an Italian Corps always garrison Munich towards the end of the 1939 scenario? Note: The difficulty of an Axis Sea Lion vs the AI would be greatly increased if the AI would evacuate a few French units to England before the fall of Paris. 1. Operate 2 units to Brest (1 turn) 2. Transport 2 units to Manchester (1 turn) Of course, this requires that the UK fleet does not station a ship in the Manchhester port. French Stratgies One strategy that Bill Macon mentioned is flying the French Air Fleet to North England and then disbanding it after France Surrenders so that the UK gets MPP. Now thats a great idea that an intelligent Allied AI should use. Defense of France #1 - Standard Defense of France #2 - Corps Defense Defense of France #3 - Full Defense Defense of France #4 - Evacuate to England Defense of France #5 - Send a few units to Egypt Defense of France #6 - Send French Army and Canadian Army to Coast of Tobruk and attack it after Italy enters the war. Defense of France #7 - Build a HQ [ October 15, 2003, 03:30 PM: Message edited by: Edwin P. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
