-also under another topic- Hi guys I�ve been checking out this new 5.01 version I downloaded last week. Immediately I went for the longest (?) free campaign and chose max purchase points (20 000), air sections (25) and formations (400) for the ai since I like to have a decent struggle Playing with Germans �39 the first battle was ofcourse against the polish army. After 25 rounds of polish advance the game ended in total annihilation of opposing batallion which was originally 5-10 times bigger than mine - total of 3500 polish casualties against 74 of my heroes :) This happened 9/39 and the next battle was 10/39 in Krakow. This time I spent maybe 1.5 hours in deciding how to manage in unsuitable terrain against a similar "horde army". After playing for maybe 5 turns I got worried since no enemy movement was sighted and I had a weak spot in the flank. Absence of enemy was solved in couple of turns later since I took all the objectives with fast counter attack, worrying too much of getting flanked. The Polish army in Krakow consisted of 4 formations (instead of tens or hundreds -equal in strength to one platoon of mine.) The polish force pool was about the same as got away from the pocket in previous scenario. No reinforcement was used by neither side during the gameplay. After this I "quickplayed" next 6 scenarios (3 against france, 3 against russia). All these scenarios (from the very same campaign), the ai was lacking units. General rule was that the enemy had less than 7 formations on a large map. Pointless to continue unless I can figure out what is going wrong. I could understand this as a behaviour of an human player but if this is a standard feature in spwaw5.01, Im turning back to the older ones. The best part of sp has always been troop training. Keeping a good care of your force. :) Does anyone have experience about this ? I noticed that someone mentioned troop rarity but I double checked that. Its off. Might this be a bug ? :( **************** Ai advantage both off and on, depending on mission Troop training on Country characteristics on Troop rarity off **************** Thanks in advance Erno :(
