Timotheus -> Best Allied AI, SLIGHTLY stronger than historical? (5/24/2020 12:08:10 AM)

Hi everybody.
Looking over the Dorniers' AAR thread, I got a hankering for playing WITPAE vs a comp.... again.
I just won Andy's (better AI) scenario 01 (it downloads into the 33 slot), as Japan, by taking out India. Have to say the AI for continental land warfare is atrocious (nothing against Andy, it is system limitation) - huge armies just sit in 2-3 cities, did not challenge my Japanese "flooding" of the whole continent. In China am camped in Chungking, sieging it, carpet bombing it, and waiting for the gazillion Chinese KMT to finally surrender.
Naval AI is somewhat better, although it has target fixation - the script decides right, from this date to that date, this region, this base is important, and will throw units at it... time after time. For a month or more.
But playing with historical Japanese units, have to say even the AI Allied was a challenge due to sheer amount of stuff they get versus how little Japan had (I can see why they did not land in Australia or India - with what).
So finally after this ramble (typical Timo) I have a long winded (!!!) question:
What is a good scenario for me to play as Allies vs Japanese computer, with Japan not having star wars stardestroyers (like in some mods), with China and India continental land warfare somewhat fixed (this is important, otherwise game is too easy)?
I think the only choice I have is "Ironman Allied" in slot 023 or "War in the Pacific Ironman Part 2" in slot 010?
Is Ironman Part 2 too ridiculous and "star wars Japan" with Japan having insane forces?
Go with Ironman Allied I think....
Are these my only options for Allied AI to be a somewhat of a challenge? Are there other grand campaign scenarios for AI Japan?
Sigh.... I might just break down and play a human Japan.
