Bug: AI purchase routine problem

The next battle (in 6/41) is also a Defend at Tobruk and the same has happened, AI purchases very few units.

I ran the routine again for the 6/41 battle. The battle type is a meeting engagement and the AI purchases what looks like a full complement of units. This might narrow the problem down to the scenario when AI has Assault.

Because of the number of games already played in this campaign my core has a lot of experience and a very high points value (about 25,000). This means that the AI value may be so high that it is running into some sort of maximum which it can't handle and the end result is a very small points allocation that doesn't buy many units.

T0 save files for both Defend games attached. I have a save file for the meeting engagement if required.

Note because I reuse save slots T0 for the earlier game is in 273 and T0 for the second game is in 235.

cheers,

MAX_DEFEND is about 26000 points - and a regular battle will limit you to that even if you enter maximum points in preferences.

It may well be that the campaign code is screwing up the total though, and it could well wrap round to a negative number or whatever. I'll check it out.
