Default Re: Generated Campaign question.........

Hello all...

I was wondering if someone can explain something i read in the Manual a lil better for me....(in reference to a generated campaign)

" Therefore the AI buy is always in the correct ratio to the value of your core plus any support troops bought, you need not spend all the support points if you do not want to, for example in a defend scenario, every support point you spend will grant the AI 2.5 times the amount spent, a 200 point rifle company bought by you in support in the defence grants the compute 500 purchase points. "

Now my question is this. Where it says the AI will receive 2.5 times the amount spent. Is this jus when its a DEFEND Scenario? I noticed it doesnt happen in meeting engagements, nor Advance(as far as i can tell). The reason im asking this is, i started playing a generated Campaign, and made it through 3-4 scenarios, before my first defenseive scenario.Well it was going fairly well, untill i bought support units for the Defensive scen. I decided to buy some Bunkers, and used the rest for Spotting Aircraft. Well low and behold, my first turn in(after using the spotters) I saw the AI had 2-3 times the amount of units i had on the map. Needless to say i got my *** handed to me

Oh yeah one other question....If the AI gets 2.5 times the points spent for a Defend Scen. How does it work if, IM assaulting, and the AI is defending?

Thnx....
You're answers in that quote......

"in a defend scenario, every support point you spend will grant the AI 2.5 times the amount spent"

So yes, that 2.5 only applies to the AI attacker when YOU defend. If you are attacking the AI gets 2.5 times LESS the points you get as the attacker.
