Gudgey -> RE: Feedback on the 1.10 Update (3/17/2006 12:12:08 PM)

Hi everyone,
In an earlier post I asked if the scenario's were playable from the Soviet side, as the AI playing NATO seemed reluctant to sit and defend, and instead went charging across the map even when there were no victory locations to take.
This was evident in the few scenario's I played which, were the two tutorials and the Soviet Tank Rush scenario. Knowing that there was a major patch on the way, I decided to leave the game alone until it arrived.
Well, since 1.1 was released I've been playing the second tutorial scenario over and over as the Soviets, and getting my backside handed to me by the computer[:D].
On my first attempt, I started to move my forces north-west towards the heavily forrested ridge rather than along the exposed road.
By the time my T-72's made it into the woods I had lost all my HQ and supporting units.
The computer was using the (now damned hard to spot!) recon units exactly as you would expect them to be used, putting in the air and artillery strikes while picking off stragglers form a distance.
My force was rendered pretty much ineffective and I'd not even glimpsed an M1.
Re-playing this scenario over half a dozen times, has taught me several (maybe obvious) things:
1) Have a good plan from the beginning, because when you lose your HQ units, (which you will, as the AI go's after them with a vengence) it's very difficult to effectively manage whats left.
2) Keep moving, if you stop you die!
3) Nail those recon units as soon as you see them.
I've had a lot of fun playing this tutorial, it has actually taught me how to fight rather than just how to move units around etc. This afternoon I'm gonna have a go at the Tank Rush scenario, I'll let you know how I get on.
Brilliant stuff, well done, and of course thankyou.[&o]
Gudgey.
