Hi, I bought CEaW few weeks ago, and I have completed three complete games with the Axis player, in different difficulty levels. The rating after 3 games (against AI) is surely favourable and I think i will play again the game, also as the Allies player. But... Some indication on AI behaviour: 1. The British Fleets in the Meditteranean Sea sleep for the entire game, and never try to intercept the traffic between Italy and North Africa and react only on italian direct assault (even if more powerful). 2. A weak italian Army (1 armoured, 1 motorized 4 infantry corps supported with one figther and 1 tac bomber wing) can overrun British forces in western desert, conquer the Egypt, go over Lebanon and occupy Iraq and Persia with their oil reserves. The Allies don't seriously react and only garrison units resist against the invasion. 3. Garrisons units are evidently not necessary. After the occupation of a Country the invader should not leave any unit in the conquered land (no revolts and partisans appeared only if the country is actually at war). This is not realistic (expecially if the invader is the Axis player). What's more, the Allies don't try to invade the uncontrolled country (I left France and Belgium without any garrison in '41, '42 an '43 but no invasion was attempted by the Allies. 4. Sometimes some Soviet Units perform a counter attack that can infiltrate deeply the german line but in most cases it ends in a kamikaze attack without great consequences. 5. Unfortunatly the designers decided not to put railways on the map, so the partisan units (as happened in AH Russian Campaign f.e.) cannot block the traffic (and this would be a problem for the german). So you only need to have some units to intercept partisans and destroy them. I think that is enough, and, after all, I think that the game is a good game and worth the money. paologvn
