AI Scenario Help

Post by Lobster »

Just for the heck of it I decided to ask MS CoPilot to make a scenario of the 1939 invasion of Poland using The Operational Art of War IV. I was gobsmacked. The level of detail was remarkable. First it was just a general over view but I kept asking for more detail and it just dug deeper and deeper. You can make an entire scenario with accurate TOE, events, OOB, deployment plan...everything. What it can't do is make the map but it will make you a bitmap image. :lol:

If duct tape doesn't fix it then you are not using enough duct tape.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity and I’m not sure about the universe-Einstein.

Yes - https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopi ... 3#p5261043 .

It gets down to amazing details to consider - like where stragglers from the Barbarossa border battles went, and therefore things like the 22nd Army at the Dvina/Dnepr should have more proficiency than the 20th Army because they got officer cadre from the 3rd Army;

" TOAW IV TRANSLATION (army-specific)
If you’re modeling unit survival:
- 3rd Army units:
- Reduce strength to 30–35%, keep HQs alive
- 4th Army units:
- Remove most formations; convert survivors to replacements
- 10th Army units:
- Disband entirely; feed manpower pool only
- 13th Army units:
- Reconstitute at 25–30%, high disruption "

Edit - and things like the Western Front in July should only get 1,200-1,500 Artillery pieces from the border stragglers and those were almost all; 50mm mortars, 45mm AT and 76mm Art - the easiest to move
If you're STILL making Panzer IIs after seeing your first T-34... you're probably going to lose.

Didn't mention 37mm "spade mortars" ?

Don't know. The logic of the suggestions sounds good, but I wonder how it actually worked out.
