Hi Arjuna

Yes..thx for the heads up ...i will definately try COTA...when i finish tinkering with HTTR.

Cheers Brip

<t> Hi..yes...I have tried giving the AI advantages...by choosing the Favour option for it. I also play with the orders delay set to realistic.<br/>
<br/>
When I say I have found the AI 'weak'..i should qualify it by saying that its one of the better AI opponents Ive played against in a strategy ...

<t> Have been having fun with HTTR.....what a great simulation!....very elegant design...does very well in immersing you in the sort of opeartional decisions required to do well...SO Kudos to the game designers...well done..<br/>
<br/>
Must admit though ...having played the campaigns (especially ...

excuse my internet ignorance Marc but where is this site and E-store located in the U.S.?...If I buy the disc via E-store will I have to send money and receive disc via the U.S. Or is the disc orderable within Australia which is where I am.?

Regards Brip

Doh oh okay "The Ardennes Offensive"

Yes fortunately I've just started a game as the Allied with Comp as German...so far I'm finding the AI doing a good job so far (Better than what I've seen in KP)...After this I'll try the Germans

<t> I have found the same Miller...I've yet to find a wargame whether Strategic/Operational or Tactical level which can boast a kick butt AI. I'm definately going to PBeM ths game once I learn its system more thoroughly...but I would like to play against a comp too which can offer a challenge close ...

<t> Try playing the 16 turn scenarios as the Germans (with comp as Russian) and offer no input except to click through turns. You should find that you'll win decisivly every time. I tried this and the AI could only manage a draw at best. This will tell you how deficient the AI is at handling ...

Ditto for me in response to gagowen...

I'll have to wait until a patch becomes available on disk.

<t> PBM is the best idea, I agree Rob. But a good solitaire game against the AI would be good as well. After all that is what the product and numerous reviews I've read touts it can do. Guess I'm disapppointed after all I read that the AI seems to be disappointingly inadequate. Like a chess program ...

<r> First problem is I cant seem to get proper sound with the game...no music and or a breakup of the normal game sounds. Does the patch fix this? and where can I find details of what the patch fixes? Also occasional crashes to desktop.<br/>
<br/>
Second BIGGER PROBLEM...<br/>

I purchased ...
