This interested me so I did some *very* crude tests...if someone has more time and is less tired please enlarge.... [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
I generated 3x5 random battles. Ger vs Russians, settings as they are when you enter the battle generator. Meeting engagements.
In the first set I purchased an Infantry Company and a Cavalry squadron. I did not observe what was the purchase point amount in each case, I just made sure I had enough to buy abovementioned formations.
Then I hit autodeploy, started the game and immediately saved. Then I loaded the game and took the russian side that was computer-purchased and examined what the computer had bought.
Each time Russians had one infantry company, with some variance in details (type of mg's)
The additional units were:
1) 2 x 37mm AA guns, 76,2 mm FH
2) 15 tanks, 152 mm Btry
3) 2 x 85 mm AA
4) 13 tanks, 152mm Btry, 3 rifle squads
5) 2 x Gaz-4M AA, 11 tanks, 152mm Btry
In some cases there may have been an odd sniper or such but those where uninteresting.
Quite a variety or what?
Then I continued with same troops except I spent 50 points for mines which I placed on the map. Russians again always had the Rifle company, other units were:
1) 152mm Btry, 34 Tanks, Rifle Company
2) 152mm Btry, 35 tanks, Rifle Company
3) 2 x 37mm AA, 152mm Btry
4) 152mm Btry, 15 tanks, 2 rifle squads
5) Identical to number 4
interesting? There were some variance about which tanks the computer purchased, but they were always from the BT or T-26 series. However there were no masses of engineers even though I had mines.
Final test this time was different only in the composition of my troops, all tanks this time. Two platoons of Pz-IIf's and nothing else.
Again russians had their Rifle Company every time. Other units:
1) 2 x Gaz-4M AA, 152mm Btry, 11 tanks, 2 rifle squads.
2) 2 x Gaz-4M AA, 152mm Btry, 29 tanks, rifle company, 2 rifle squads
3) 152mm Btry, 12 tanks, 3 rifle squads
4) 2 x 37mm AA, 5 x rifle squad
5) 2 x Gaz-4M AA, 152mm btry, 28 tanks, rifle company, 2 rifle squads
Which one you'd like to meet? Number 4 or number 2? [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
For me it seems that the computer does not peek, but this is a very small sample. Perhaps good only for fueling the discussion?
