Lt. Wecker Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Is it even possible to loose the battle on scenarios where allies are defending themself? I mean I was playing several missions like defend the Wiltz, and I didn't have any difficulties winning them. So what do you say?
Olle Petersson Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 It all depends on the opposition. Based on first hand experience I'd say it's quite easy to fail a defense. Against the AI, in a scenario designed for the AI as defender, it's fairly easy to win. Against a human attacker, in a scenario designed for AI attack, defending is very difficult. Cheers Olle
Redwolf Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Wecker, are you talking about play against the AI or humans? Scenarios or selected forces?
Lt. Wecker Posted August 5, 2002 Author Posted August 5, 2002 Playing agains AI, scenarios. I mean, I made an experiment, most of the mission I was just pressing the go button, excepct while placing the riaforcement. I don't remember the name of scenario right now, but I'll check it.Oh, BTW, I won on that scenario (allied tactical victory)
Yggdrasill Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Whenever I defend against the AI, I give the computer at least a 50% strength bonus. In my experience, the AI does not well execute a coordinated attack, doesn't engage in flanking maneuvers, doesn't lay smoke to screen an advance, doesn't do much in the way of scouting, tends to bunch it's infantry into killable groups, exposes its vehicles to infantry assaults unnecessarily, etc. If you play with no computer bonus, you should be able to force a surrender most of the time, unless it's a really short scenario or especially weighted against the defender.
Louie the Toad Posted August 7, 2002 Posted August 7, 2002 Want a really tough battle, regardless of defending, attacking, quick battle, etc.? Try a small scenario using most or all of Franko's True Combat Rules. Tough Toad
