I'm thinking life must be pretty miserable on that little Island with that many soldiers bumping in to each other every day. Maybe I should just run a carrier group by there from time to time to add to their misery? Seems like a good little prison to me.

That's right. The AI isn't suffering from this one iota.

Thus, playing vs. AI is the best, most satisfying method of enjoying WitP:AE.

Status: offline 		Actually, in playing the Japanese AI in Scen 8, I am holding Wake.  The AI has landed a Division, a Air HQ & a Base Force.  AV was 482.  They have been there for over 2 months.  Recon shows only 9602 Japanese left there, but any attack still hits 482 AV.  I landed a Marine Regiment and 2 brigades of artillery and shelled them until supply ran out( that many units really eats up supply, they go through it faster than a dozen supply convoys can deliver it).

This part of the game is broken badly, IMHO.
