Your last post - skip up and in the midst of ti you'll see a big black box going across most of the width of the report. There's one in an earlier report too.

For what it's worth, I have the same problem. I see it in some of the AARs I read as well. At first I thought it was a deliberate blacking out of info but I've convinced myself it's a display glitch of some kind. The box appears to always be the same size.

Yup. I confirmed that when I went to pinpoint a spot for Andy. BTW, I'm running Firefox. How about you?

The AI script I am playingh agaionst is one of my test ones and its for the enhance Japan scenario - you cannnot rely on the release version acting this way.... oh no it will do far worse things to you.


Hi Andy,

That is VERY ENCOURAGING news, especially to those of us who primarily play against the AI! I was somewhat on the fence about buying AE. I'm an old WITPer and never had any problem with the minor bugs, but was never able to finish a campaign due to the, shall we say, lackluster AI. You know, how it would park it's capital ships right next to a heavily defended enemy airfield...for days...with obvious results. Or how it would send unprotected convoys right past your bases, or leave it's own most vital bases undefended or without air cover..etc, etc.
Well, I'm off the fence now! An improved (even just a basically competent) AI will be like a dream come true. Can't wait to get my hands on this one!

Oh, and thank you for sharing your fascinating AAR's with us! I'd like to request a screenshot of your ops around PM and Canton if it's not too much trouble.[&o]

thanks again!
