Well thats 6 months worth of turns in about 4 days who says WITP takes a long time !!!

yeah, but can you feel your mousing hand anymore? are there permanant callusses on your rear? does it take 15 minutes to get out of your chair after a session? good god, man....who's feeding you? [:D]

Well, it looks like the AI has taken the resource area (except for some minor clean up) in 6 months, plus Burma, threatening India and some moves in China, even with going after PM early!

Good Job with AI![:)] After that beating, I think some of allied PBM players would even thinking about quiting![:D]

Would really like to see the intel screens on ships/aircraft at this point in the game before you begin again.

Where's the European theater? [kidding!]

Andy Mac, thanks for this. As a gamer who desperately wants a competent AI, I am watching this thread with keen interest. To be honest, I'm shocked at what the AI has been throwing at you.

Can't wait to read more....

Well, we told you all the AI was better... we didn't say how much better. [;)] Now you know. Major kudos to Andy and the AI team on what they've achieved. I won't claim it's a substitute for a good human player, but it runs circles around the original WITP AI, no question about it.

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!

Post by medicff »

ORIGINAL: Andy Mac

LCU's are still vital but with so many different pools of devices it really is a lot harder to rebuild

I cannot afford to use all my British Squads to rebuild 18th Div - 2nd Div, various Indian Divs and 36th Div all use Brit Squads if I use all my reserves I will have a very fragile force

It is a trade off - max AV or sustainable AV a constant balancing act especially for the CW - do I rebuild 8th Aus Div - yes I can if I do whats the consequence - well 300 less replacement Aus Inf Squads and they are a tight pool.

Great care is required otherwise you will find yourself cannibalising units

Because squad devices in the pool and in units upgrade to the latest type and because devices have stop dates you dont get massses of say Aus 42 squads in the pool that can be used to fill out that old formation.

Every squad is vital

In fact I suspect you will be rescuing fragments to send them to the rear area base to disband to the pool

e.g. I rescue 50 Squads of 18th Brit Div - choices

1. Use that Bn sized Div to help out Java
2. Evac to India and rebuild
3. Use it as a rear area garrison with replacements off
4. Send it to Delhi and disband it to the pool at no VP cost to give me 50 British Infantry Squads for another unit.

I strongly suspect in AE most players would do 3. until its clear India is safe then 4. you will need those squads.

Rescuing fragments to rebuild the unit is less of an issue - rescuing fragments to get the additonal squads for your limited pools - vital

Thanks for the reply. Makes much more sense IRL as resources were limited.

REALLY good to see the AI playing aggressively and taking the initiative. But.... when will we see the real Andy come out to play? If you always played this passively even i could give you a run for your money!!!

Seriously, i understand that your priority here is simply to churn through turns, and give us an idea of the AI capability. So you are certainly achieving your goals.

Cant wait to get my hands on this.....

I have done a few things and been spanked for it
 
3 day turns make it tough to be hyper aggressive so far I have not lost anything vital and I have preserved my force more or less for my own offensives despite a nasty first 3 days where I lost 8 Battleships and a Carrier
 
remember you dont get respawn carriers or cruisers any more so insane risks which are *risk free* because you are getting them back allied to 3 day turns make it tough.
 
If I was playing one day turns I would have cut up a few more of the AI invasions but I am not sure if thats because I *know* where the AI is going certainly when Brady plays the AI he destroys a lot more Japanese ships than I have but then he has played the opening many times and likes one day turns.
 
Forcing myself to play three day turns and push on as hard as possible shows what is possible but I agree I am probably slightly more passive than normal.
 
The next 6 months are where a human player could make a massive mistake by overstretching I will wait to see where the AI goes.

ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins

Well, we told you all the AI was better... we didn't say how much better. [;)] Now you know. Major kudos to Andy and the AI team on what they've achieved. I won't claim it's a substitute for a good human player, but it runs circles around the original WITP AI, no question about it.

That's alright. I'm so bad at this game that by the time I figure out how to trash the AI I will have died of old age.
