scottie Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well that was interesting... QB Assault Battle Size Tiny larger hilly map (biggest i could find) 150% to Allies as attacker US purchase manually (armoured company with vehicles) (2500 ish points to play with IIRC) Germans auto purchase 1 hour. Plan is to use my mobility on a large map to execute the perfect assault. 30 mins getting into position, creeping up unseen then hiding. Spotted 5 + fox holes 10 min barrage 10 min assault ... wait a min nobody is shooting yet , maybe its one of them dont shoot back until they are within 25m AI plans. Ok im in the foxholes , no germans , hit ceasefire. Oh the AI just purchased fox holes then ... that was a waste of 50 mins .... no german kills reported, no german icons on map, 8 friendly fire casualties ... not so perfect assault plan then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting delaying tactic: just hidden positions with nothing hidden in them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cymru Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 That is certainly bizarre. I have found the computer generated mix is often unpredictable (and challenging). My last was as Germans (supposed to mixed) defending against a US infantry assault. I got two each of Panther, 88mm ATG, mortars + ammunition carrier, AT team. No infantry at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 It's been addressed already. It's a problem with the smaller end of QB auto-selection. If you want to avoid it until the patch, you'll have to pick the enemy forces yourself in small and tiny battles AIUI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Just tiny. Small seems okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks for the posts.

Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai007 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I played a large QB against the Americans. I purchased my own, let the AI automate for the US. I had 2 Panthers, 2 Tigers, a Stuh42, and a Battalion of Grenadiers. Well, the AI purchased something like 24 or 30 Stuarts, and one 105 Sherman and one M4A1 Sherman. Needless to say, I slaughtered the Stuarts, but only had one operational tank left. The Stuh was destroyed, and both Tigers and one Panther had the tracks blown off. The US was set to mixed BTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetzer21 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I was wondering about this. I just had a battle, set the game to auto-choose mixed for both sides. I got 18 tanks and one spotter, the Yanks got a shed-load of inf and a couple of tanks. And a lot of arty. I got hammered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
