1 mostly
2 for testing strategies.
3 and 4 only when major changes made on an update to get a feel for how it changes the game.

Can't figure out how to play. Too many rules. Impossible to memorize all of the many charts and rules.

You don't need to memorize the charts. They are there because people asked me to place them in the rules. I don't even know what's on the charts. Just understand the concepts of play and supply. The rest will come naturally.

Axis against the AI.

AI is not only very good but has the added advantage of waiting for my free time and does not do cheesy or gamey moves [:)]

There was actually a flaw in the A.I. bonuses I fixed in the new Beta. It was there for a year and no one noticed.

1. AI is just not challenging aside the learning phase cause you cannot even a frustrated guy losing his entire Armor Force in a pincer move :P The AI wouldn't and doesn't get upset about it...
