What If ...... Axis AI attacked Russia Early?

[Edwin P.]

In SC2 some of my most exciting games have been when an Axis human player launched an early attack on Russia. Attacking Russia when it has few units on the map really changes the dynamics of the game.

I would like to see the Axis AI in SC2 occassionaly follow this strategy. It really affects the prewar actions of the Russia player as he can no longer count on the Axis AI only attacking after he has built up his forces.

Perhaps if France falls quickly to the Axis the AI would consider this option 25% of the time, 1 out of 4 games.

Example:

France Surrenders BEFORE XX/XX/XX AND UK Navy in Atlantic

--- Early Axis Attack on Russia Strategy 25%

--- Standard Axis Attack on Russia 75%

France Surrenders BEFORE XX/XX/XX and 80% of UK Navy in Med and few Allied Units in UK

--- Early Axis Attack on Russia Strategy 25%

--- Axis Sealion 25%

--- Standard Axis Attack on Russia 50%

France Surrenders AFTER XX/XX/XX

--- Standard Axis Attack on Russia 100%

Yes Edwin P. we need all the variety we can get...that's what will keep the game from becoming stale.

One should be able to choose a historical game if they want, otherwise...the computer could role the dice and surprise us each and every-time...or we could choose what alternative option we want. Now that would be exciting!.
