I had concidered tinkering with the AI build control. But I realized in the end it will not be worth the effort. Tweeking the builds would have little impact on gameplay since the AI is not good enough to satisfy a smart player for very long ...

However, there is virtually no value in holding that area in GGWaW. Thats just how it is - and why its wise for the AI to pull back. It would be an even worse AI if it kept DAK in North Africa without pushing hard for Suez.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Then why don't ...

<t> I didn't want to play the historical card, but the reason Hitler sent a "blocking detachment", i.e. DAK to Lybia was to prevent Italian collapse, not to conquer Suez. As long as Rommel kept British employed in North Africa, Italy was safe.<br/>

Unlike the popular opinion, it was British ...

I dont terribly agree about DAK though. In my opinion its far better to pull back from North Africa than remain there unless you can take at the very least Cairo. Infact, I pull back from North Africa atleast initially almost every game I ...

<t> Another aspect of German AI play-out that bothers me is the serious neglect of the Atlantic Wall which often results with Allied militia "invading" France in Spring 1943 allowing Allies to disembark several armies in France and turning WW2 game of grand strategy into WW1 game with Western front ...

I actually liked the fact that I couldn't always be at full strength. Play a Division and you'll be happy to be at 80% after a few battles, especially if you're attacking the Russians in '44 [:)]

I'd like to see a scenario covering fighting on Guadalcanal.

<t> The one thing that bothered me in Dynamic campaigns was that my units had to go from battle to battle on reduced strength (thanks to limited replacements) while the enemy units (who were often the same ones that fought me in previous scenario) were at full strength.<br/>

Either both ...

Iranian government was pro-German the same way British government was pro-Soviet. It would be more appropriate to say that Iranians (as well as Iraqis) were anti-British.

Statistics, so what you're saying makes sense. still seems a stretch to me to say the russians had the worst ground attack plane of the war though.

<t> From my point of view, sinking a lot of transports with my submarines and bombers is the most funny aspect of German naval warfare. Without transport to ferry troops against my posessions in Western Europe, all those Allied battleships and carriers are useless.<br/>
