Re: Odd AI Behavior
Another aspect is, being a game, I don't have to stay "honest" so to speak. In reality, if an attack is launched, defensive lines by the assaulting side aren't abandoned as I did in my attack. Beyond the 100x100 battlefield I was on, there would be supply and ammo dumps, hospitals, communications, headquarters, etc. that would have to still be protected. If those things had been back there at in my game, the AI would have had a field day. In the game, I packed up all my "stuff" and took it with me. Also, a narrow front attack isn't typical. Most real assaults are broad based. In the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans didn't punch a hole one mile wide and send everyone through it. It was an assault on an 80 mile front.
Oh well, enough on this. I think it's been pretty much beat to death.
