With such function, the action phase can be controled by computer for the defenders, especially Axis in BTR. I have such suggestion is because there are so many raids in each turn, intercepting every one or most of them manually is very tiring, even I have enough fighters. And the the A/Cs in the airfield can be easily attacked and lost because I cannot watch every raid all the time so that some A/Cs are not launched in time.

That is interesting. Can I do similar with Allied Bomber / Fighter Escort Groups? I thought that since there is so much that can be automated there might be many combinations of play you could set up.

Like could I run both Allied and Axis forces in one campaign? Could I select particular forces of each side and run them exclusively and let the AI run the rest of the war?

Just curious. This brings up a lot of ideas that might be fun. Alos can I set sides to run auto pilot and then from time to time or at some particular juncture can I step in and take over? Just thinking outloud here.

Later,
KayBay

Yes, you can. Start a head-to-head game. Set the axis commands you want to auto, end the turn. Set the allied commands you want to auto, turn on auto-plot, plot the raids you want, end the turn.

Have fun responding the the AI in the north, while the AI in the south responds to you. Or vice-versa.

Maybe it's just me, but I find things complicated enough playing just one side!

I agree, but for me it takes so long to build a days worth of missions I thought it might be fun to play a little more lightweight and see what I can learn. There is so much to this game. It is most likely the toughest game I have had so much fun and frustration playing. I was thinking about just letting it run for a couple months or so and step in and play a bit then let it go autopilot again for a while. Might be fun.

Later,
KayBay

Status: offline 		I let the AI plot most of my mission groups for almost my entire first game. After a while I started tweaking them a little (why launch a 31 morale BG when there is an unsed 70 morale unit). Learned a lot that way. Nothing wrong with letting the thing plot for you. Might have a tough time "winning" but you can pick your spots to do what you want.

Status: offline 		Hey Bear,
LOL yea I havnt tried that yet. Guess I am just too Hogg Headed in my old age. I just need to figure out how to do the Luftwaffe side on auto pilot. I think I could learn a lot by running both sides auto and watching what happens, check on how things are put together. Would probably help my game a ton.

Hey Richard,
Yeah, man I can remember the first few weeks I struggled with this game. Kind of felt like back in my College days doing my second year of Physics. While everybody else was out havin beers at the game I was chasing Trig functions around Electromagnetic Fields till 3am. I tried so hard to stuff that crud between my earlobes it made my stomach hurt. That is what it was like with this game until I got a handle on it... we at least until I wasnt getting whooped so bad... not sure if I actually "Got a Handle on it" yet... LOL

Later,
KayBay
