Re: SPAA or SPAG ?
Hmmm well lets see how about borg spotting with arty?? AI arty will hit with at least 30% accuracy with no LOS at all, and the AI will have either air or arty on EVERY turn (unless you turn a BUNCH of stuff off). "to hit table" for the AI is uncanny, they can fire small arms from 400 meters and obtain kills on entrenched infantry not to mention that they are ALWAYS vet or better in rating vs the Human who will be regular at best (unless playing a third or fourth game of a campagne). AI enjoys unlimited "buy" points and buys units after you have chosen so as to offset any advantage you might have gotten with specialized troop/equipment. The biggest in my opinion is the AI's ability to fire round after round in front of NUMEROUS human troops and remain UNSPOTTED, not to mention the cute little LOS game of "I can see you but you can't see me" where the AI can fire on you but you cannot return fire EVEN with the targeted unit who IS NOT suppressed. The AI will assess "key" assets and they will be hit by planes/arty on the FIRST turn even tho they are "unspotted". How about units "popping up" unseen while crossing "open ground" in front of your massed scouts and infantry??? I am sure I can find others but there is a starter. Now mind you NONE of this occurs in a 2 player game so as a 2 player it is fine.
