Wow, that is good stuff.

I am sure the unit in Bakalov will get annihilated next turn by the AI, but that seems to have been a necessary move.

I wonder why he advanced the 14th so deep. I think I see a railroad that makes that overextension have no effect. If this was vs a human, I imagine that entire 14th in that salient would be hammered or perhaps vaporized. I am curious to see what the AI does.

My plan is going a little awry it has to be said. I think I may have overstretched my push in the South too. I don't play the game regularly against human opponents, only a few AAR's I did under the Battle of the Blogs moniker. Even in such a short scenario, with limited ruleset, I hope I can demonstrate the excitement that can be eeked out of a play session, even with the AI. My enthusiastic human mistakes may be exploited by the new AI developed for Case Blue, I'll just have to see

Thanks Erik for correcting the link above, I must've have been overtired and emotional as I posted the links out for Turn 2.. now to knuckle down and get Turn 3 out.

Spelk, I did not know that was you. Yes, please do Turn 3. That is hugely interesting.

[AZKGungHo]

Yes, please keep going, very interesting and fun to read!

Turn 3 on the day of release.. it takes me a while to get these together, I should have known I couldn't knock out all the turns necessary before the game was released... still, it does lay it out, moment by moment, turn by turn. So could be used as a primer for newbies. Maybe.

Thanks Spelk! FYI the v1.00b release version is now available to the press as well, so feel free to grab that and give it a try. We did improve the AI even more between 0.99 and 1.00.
