Trying to create a more realistic game situation, I have started allowing the AI to buy units in PBEM games... It has worked until I tried it with France...the game was a meeting with 3500 points a side. Germany had 3500 points of equipment (pzgr company and pz company and support), but the French only received about 800 points of units (10 platoons and a few guns). I have tried it a few more times and each time the AI only spends a fraction of the available points. I trialled this with Russia vs Germany, and the AI purchased 3,500 points worth of units for Russia and Germany...but it doesn't work for France. I haven't tried it for the minor protagonists like ANZAC or Italy. Any observations would be appreciated...would this be caused by France being a "minor protagonist" in the game engine...or is it an unintended feature?

Hmmm. I know the AI has a force selection process, and I am under the impression that it differs from nationality to nationality. I'd think someone from Matrix would be best suited to answer that, though.

is rarity turned on in your preferences? i've had situations where the ai has failed so many rarity checks that it just runs out of units.

I have had that happen in generated campaigns. The AI buys nothing but sappers and 75mm guns. I turn the true troop cost off and it buys a balanced force. troopie

I have troop rarity on...I will turn this off and try again. Thanks all for the advice.
