I'm not saying its a cheat per se, just something that the AI cannot use back against the human player so in that way it is like a cheat.

I can see it as a problem, but not to the level of "cheat".

Do you mean its too easy to take them out?

Andrew
Yes, too easy, not because of technology/weapons quality, but of placement by the AI.
I completely agree with you in that regard. The AI simply refuses to fight from cover to cover, its as if it doesn't care if it fights from rough (best cover) or clear (worst cover). Seeing this over and over again of the AI trying to make stands on clear when the next hex is rough troubles me. kind of reminds me of the Japanese sending suicide charges across open ground when they could used their manpower more effectively, Letters from Iwo Jima. Or Russian frontal assaults Enemy At The Gates
