AI - AI Side Doesn't Suffer Attrition

[Dereck]

I've started 5 games and ALL have followed the same pattern regarding Wake Island.

1. Around 9 December the Japanese will invade Wake Island.
2. About 10 or 11 December they will launch one DELIBERATE attack
3. Then, even though I hold Wake, it's now 18 December, and it is an atoll they never get anihilated.

In the original WITP if one side didn't take an atoll in a day or two they would be anihilated. What's up with AE?

I'm very worried that the AI does have unlimited supply and want to know how I'm supposed to handle it when I'm later on the offensive and attacking atolls myself. Will I have battles that before would last only a day or two end up taking months?

in my last (and only) game against AI after the first assault the AI land on wake unit by unit but never attack: at 1 april 42 exausted i load as japan to see what is the trouble: there are in wake 3 full division all at 0 supply. i think that AI don't suffer attrition and don't attack with supply. i order the attack and they overrun the poor civilian eng remaining here. my eng unit is without supply too: i suspect that the losses for this is lower than Witp,

What's going on here? Will this obvious bug be fixed or are you trying to drive off those of us who enjoy just playing the AI? Under the above situation the game is unplayable.

Derick, you might want to tone down the hissy fit just a tad if you want a reasonable response from the developers.  Then, after you have cooled off a bit, post the details of the issue, without the hysterics, and a save file.  I'm sure you will have a 100% better response that way.  [:)]

There seems to be something strange with atoll fighting but not so much a "AI cheat",
as you said " i order the attack and they overrun the poor civilian eng remaining here" YOU ordered the atack and they attacked , so is not a "IA attacking without supply" problem

"original WITP if one side didn't take an atoll in a day or two they would be anihilate "
In my own game its my forces who are swamped in an atoll (baker), from 15 fifteen days now and not being anhilated .. I was forced to assault in the landing (every turn I landed forces) , but once there I am being not forced to keep doing... my only "in shape" regiment is with zero supply , and a new amph fleet landing only supply seems doing no good  ...bt I tried a bombardment and they are attacking.

the trouble is that AI without supply don't attack: so stay in wake do nothing for months
