ORIGINAL: HansBolter Sorry if I came across too strongly. I'm not looking for nor expecting anyone to create a competitive Ai for me. I simply gravitate to the scenarios that have the promise of the best possible AI (produced by AndyMac). I too have quit many games in the fall of '42 because I had already trashed the AI. I have learned restraint and my current game play testing BTs for John III is in August '43 with a promise to last at least a bit longer. I enjoy play testing and providing feedback. Early on I was the one player providing the most feedback to AnyMac on his IronMan series. I believe my feedback has been beneficial to John III's efforts on his BTS scenario. If can do me the favor of creating a version with an inactive Russia I'll be happy to play and provide feedback even though I know you are not seeking to tailor the scenario to solitaire play. Hi Hans, Yeah, in my humble opinion, if you sink too many IJN ships, or knock off too many air units or LCU's, later in the game it can't figure out how to defend itself. I took two AI games into mid 44, back when I first started the AE version, and got so fed up I stopped playing for a few months. This was back in 2009 or 10. Then I saw a post by Andy about his AI mods and then the Nasty and tried them. This was better. But I was missing something. I started to read AAR's and then Last year connected with JuanG. We both have been helping John3rd with his mods,Juan more than me, and we started a PBEM with John's mods. RA first and BTS second. I haven't looked back. I know from previous posts that you can't do a PBEM because of internet connections or something, but Last year I was doing my turns from a McDonalds. Mostly to get out of my bothers house, I was living with his family at the time, The connection sucks, but it was free. And I had my cup of tea too Just a thought.....GP By the way, Everyone here started out as an AI player at some point. Oh, I looked at the AI scripts once and they look fairly easy to put in. The problem is putting them in so they work correctly. Thats where Andy comes in
