From the AI's POV it makes perfect sense to control the V hexes. That's it's "Prime directive" when the order goes out to counter attack that's what it expects it's troops to do....CA and regain the lost V hexes. The alternative is to sit there and loose the game. However, it cannot know that leaving prepared postions to retake a V hex isn't a great idea if the scenario designer has set up the game to allow certain V hexes to be taken by the human player right away and that trips rule number 1 5% of the time and the scenario designer is confused as to why his troops stay in place most of the time but sometimes go berserker.

We are looking at adding a change to the patch that will allow formation and/or units to ignore the CA order. There are a number of options we are exploring
