Thank you for the answer. I have no issues with the AI getting these. I was just curious is I was doing something really wrong because I usually had less research and/or units.

<t> I have everything on default and have played a few games as each side. I'm wondering if the AI gets any research, production or MPP bonus because it can out research and out build me. When I play the Central Powers by the end of 2015 i compared my production and research to what the AI did. It ...

<t> Please ignore the below. I found the fix elsewhere on this site under troubleshooting. It was Windows 7 explorer that caused the problem.<br/>

@JJU57 --- Actually, you do NOT want to DOW on Netherlands, 1st, because Belgium gonna Waffle, and join Allies. Try operanding both Panzers, Fly Tactical Bomber, and you can have Belgium on turn #2 most likely.

Assuming that Germany operates most of its forces on axis turn 2, then France usually falls in March or April 1940.<br/>

Allies brought the WDF, purchased an anti-tank unit on turn 1, and brought all carriers to France. <br ...

<t> There is some bad advice here. You do NOT want to only DOW Netherlands or Belgium. The reason is simple. When you DOW them both they place their units with 0 supply which means they die easily. If you don't take out both countries in the same turn then the units or country not at war gets units ...

Never mind found it. It said patch notes but it was the actual patch.

So what is the solution? Where can I manually download the upodates?

Does anyone know the limits on the type of upgrades the factory can produce. I'm especially interested in knowing if I change the Hudson or Vengence, will I be prevented from some future type.

<t>I have found that the partial unit will rebuild to the old size provided supply exists at the new location. I loaded about half the size of a LCU. When I unloaded at a new base the part that was at the old base was removed. Maybe this is to prevent the same unit being in the game at two different ...

<t>I don't understand why there aren't good AI's for games like Axis & Allies. There is a limited number of unit types and a limited number of important areas on the map. The logic tree would not have to be more then 100 levels deep. After all just analyze your thought process. You first look at the ...

<t>I'll concentrate on the AI for 3R since most agree that it was pretty bad. My question was why? First off the opening moves are know much like chess. I found the placement of units in the game to be correct. However, the next setup was where the computer started to fail.<br/>

The game is ...

Seth,

You failed to mention if you had any armor. Did you? In the hundreds of games I've played I have yet to see the AI not use their armor. Of course I always had a couple of tanks myself.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Originally posted by Seth:<br/>
<B><s>[b]</s>Yes, but the thing is, it had plenty of tanks, and let it's infantry be utterly destroyed without budging them from wherever they were hidden. As the Germans, I even went so far as to charge the remaining squads with my half ...

<t>The availability of arty is the realism vs gameplay question. It was realistic to not have arty available when needed or requested. Too many things could and did go wrong. Therefore this is not a bug but a relistic portrayal.<br/>
<br/>
That said it detracts from gameplay for some players. I ...

The new features while looking great still leave the unanswered question of how the AI will respond to it. It has been asked by three different people but no answer yet.

How about it? How will the AI handle these new breakdown features?

A good good based on Third Reich. High Command was nice but the industry routines were a pain in the butt. Clash of Steel was fun but the research development and naval aspects lacked.

I do have the same question as Charles concerning the AI and how these new rules will impact it.

Will there be logic to never exceed the breakdown check, or do they always max fire, or do you have a logic loop that check other factors but deciding to max fire or use that OP fire?
