Glimpse of things to come - Gary's latest AI improvements!

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Was hoping you would say that... as a user that only uses AI games at the moment due to my personnel circumstances and lack of time in the RW. Im itching to get this.

Pity I missed the picture, and now it's gone. What was it about? After some extended break I'm planning to start an AI game, and judging by the general reaction it's probably worthwhile to wait.

I will try re-uploading it... I didn't even noticed that it was gone... strange...

I've been playing the 1.05.53 beta and notice that the Russian AI will abondon isolated cities, even if well entrenched and with no hope of reestablishing a supply line. Has this behavior been fixed?

Gary made many fixes to AI recently and all those will be in next patch - hopefully this occurrence you saw is fixed as well! [:)]

But, as always, please report any "strange" behavior by AI - Gary needs saves and repeatable behavior in order to fix possible AI issues!

Thus guys, please keep you savegames (pre and post suspicious behavior) and post them to tech subforum - thanks in advance!

The glimpse is nice. In my beta game of a 43GC i was defending against the german Ai who was coming after kursk for 2-3 turns with the full force of their panzers. Then in the south by rostov i sent one of my tank armies to try and encircle some weak german units.

The next turn the german AI pulls a general patton and stops the attack on kursk leaving only a screen force and several panzer armies are rushed down to this area where they counter encircle me.

Note at the NE of the picture where the germans TRIED to break through and complete the encirclement of my southern army. Very risky but still very impressive.

Risky to the point of insanity. I do hope this is isn't the direction the AI is taking twelve months in to this unofficial public Beta test.
