While I don't have personal experience outside of DBB and short tests with RA, as I understand it Ironman Allied is specifically tailored to provide the toughest challenge through a lot of new AI scripting.

So if I were looking for a scenario where I could expect a serious fight from the AI, I would probably pick that. DBB is to my knowledge not AI compatible yet, and RA as I understand it uses the stock AI scripts, which while good, are not as good as Ironmans. DBB and RA are both more suited for PBEM play.

gracias juan, muchas gracias

I believe DaBabesLite A is also compatible versus the Allied AI.

[razanon]

RA is like Babes Lite in that it is compatible with AI. The only one that is not is DBB as far as I know.

However, the Ironman scenarios are specifically intended to be played against the AI, and their AI is more developed and likely to surprise you than the AI in stock, RA or Babes Lite.

interesting... im an experienced player about witp, total novice playing it, i won guadalcanal scenario as japanese, but NEVERplayed a full campaign. so... really i like the what if scenario RA, iron man maybe so difficult to me or not who knows!!!

Not to mention that the IJN AI has significantly more units and seemingly higher XP. I would not be surprised if Andy did the same thing with the Allies, though if they have increased potency from the very start of the war I would be very, very scared of playing it.

[razanon]

true, scare is the word... i want a campaign i have minimal at least posibilities of win

In order of nastiness for an Allied Player

Scen 1 = easiest only play v AI on Hard or higher strongly recommend at least 2 day turns
Revenge of Dorniers = hard but not impossible recommed Hard difficulty (not Very hard) you can do 1 day turns but would still recommend 2 day
Ironman Nasty Allied = Normal Difficulty maybe Hard but def not very hard - 1 day turns ok 2 still better

[razanon]

mmm great andy, what is 1 day turn? its an option? (im not at home atm) thx at all

EDIT: ah ok i understand day turns issue. ok ok

revenge of the dorniers playing vs allied AI??

and ironman nasty too?

can anyone paste links? (i tried but a lot of scenarios here, dunn understand much)

[Lokasenna]

For an IJ player, I imagine this is the order of difficulty:

Scen 2: lowest
Scen 1: step up from Scen 2, most historical order of battle
Ironman: big step up from historical scenarios
Ironman Nasty: step up from regular Ironman

[razanon]

gotcha guys, so as japanese player the best real and challenging option is nasty 17 scenario correct?
no RA
no dabigbabes...

[Andy Mac]

Correct albeit there is an even nastier version of nasty that I have not released yet......

Andy, I think you may have a problem...

[Andy Mac]
