Jeff Heidman Posted July 7, 2000 Share Posted July 7, 2000 I played this and one an overwhelming victory as the Americans. I even forgot about my reinforcements for several turns, and still won. The AI is pretty poor on the attack. It makes no effort to probe, flank, or mass. He just plods along, and marches at your troops, and dies.

Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 8, 2000 Share Posted July 8, 2000 Actually, it never plays quite the same, Jeff. I tested it three times and noticed that the AI side did not follow the same routine. Basically, yes, they are advancing to get off the edge of the map and to take the objectives. Of course. But I've seen the Panther and other vehicles take different paths to achieve that,infantry too. This does two things. 1. It creates havoc for the designer. You can push over one battle and have your butt whipped in the next. Fortunes of war, stuck tanks, etc, so much can happen, artillery accuracy. 2. It gives us something we don't often have, an AI that sometimes can outsmart you. This is perhaps one of the greatest attributes of this game once you get past the sights and sounds. I've tested many, many games, and I've never had as challenging an AI as in this game. So enjoy your victory Jeff. And JMac, don't feel too badly. It does happen, just as you said. You win three, and one kicks your butt black and blue. And therein lies the fun and challenge of this game. ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester/Designer Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
