1] There have been changes to the AI picks that have lowered the chance of Matilda 2's from being bought by the AI in the early part of the war. However, I have generated dozens of battles with both the games release EXE and the modified EXE and I have yet to see an overwhelming number of Matilda 2's bought in the release EXE when battles in 1940 are fought. 18 has been the max I have seen so far and that was with a tank heavy setting with 10,000 points. What can I say ? You saw it but I don't and in any event the EXE and the OOB has been altered so that it won't happen again


2] Rarity, in WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT is based on if a unit is "average" "uncommon". "common" and "unavailable" to the AI. We do not set "rarity" limits on how many of this or that you can buy. That is a "feature" that we have no plans to add to this game as most players like to make their own minds up about who should have what . Yes, a player COULD buy nothing but Matilda 2's if he were the Brit player in 1940. That's his choice. Choice is good. If someone wants to buy what he considers a historical mix of units that's his choice as well and the game "allows" that just as it "allows" him to command a company of Tiger tanks if he so desires without the "game nanny" deciding...... " No Johnny...you've had enough of those, go play with something else now.....". We DO try to create the AI pick lists with reasonable limits on things. That's why you won't see the German AI getting fleets of Tiger tanks but we will not be introducing limits on what you can or cannot buy. It's a game. If someone wants to see what he could do against the Germans in May of 1940 with more than the "historical" number of Matilda 2's he's quite free to do so just as the player who wants to see how he could do with the more historical unit mix.

3} If you want to find out exactly what the AI bought in a campaign and how much it cost convert the campaign save game to a sceanrio save simply by renaming it to an empty sceanrio slot number and then copy it to the sceanrio folder and then start the game and open it in the editor with the "Buy" button
