They aren't good tactics at all. The AI is getting no closer to winning since it is failing to defend territory it has previously taken. It can rampage around unchecked through whatever the path of least PD is, but chances are those are going to be less worthwhile provinces. Meanwhile the player can ignore the loss of one weak province a turn and systematically annex the AIs previously held land. If he behaved in a way similar to the AI you'd pretty much end up with them swapping national territories and sieging each other's home forts. That's just silly.
What is being described in this thread isn't 'raiding behind enemy lines', it's a more powerful AI force moving in a precitable pattern and leaving its own territory behind to be conquered by the player.
So,.. I believe what is causing the thread starter 'hassle' is not the challenge the AI is presenting, but rather the constant and ridiculous game of military musical chairs he's stuck in.
