Like alot of others I'm married, unlike alot of others I'm unable to commit the amount time to play SPWAW. So quite often I just run AI vs AI battles just to see what happens, and one tactic I've noticed is the AI's tendency to cluster units all around the VH's. The AI will leave dug in postions to travel to sit facing in whatever direction if ends its movement in. Portions of units will remain while others run off to guard VH on occasions. Whats up with this?? This doesnt exactly strike me as a quality tactic. I know Matrix staff are focusing on new projects so does anyone know of anyway to stop this? It sure makes fighting the AI just a little to easy. "Just fire all the arty and send in the strike aircraft on to the target location major, trust me thats where the enemy is" ------------------ McGib Ready Aye Ready

Unfortunately the AI is not very strong or smart, Not sure whether anything can be done about it or not. The AI in SPww2 seemed better somehow, maybe the matrix guys could look into that.
