Lend Lease and AI

Post by Drax Kramer »

How likely is for AI to send Lend Lease? I played several introductory games as Chinese and Soviets with both Standard and Advanced supply rules and I hardly recall anything receiving from my AI led Wallies.

I maintained a land link with India throughout 1943 and 1944 and nothing came.

I noticed how AI virtually ignores China-India-Burma theatre. Despite Japanese virtually abandoning Burma (leaving a militia or two), the AI equivalent of Slim's 14th Army did nothing. Malaya and Indochina are safe for Japanese.

Wallied AI is not overly agressive in Europe as well. Germany was keeping a meagre two militia garrison in Normandy triggering nothing but strafing attack.

I hope further patches will address Western Allied play since it looks as the most difficult power for AI to play well.

It tries to send Lend Lease to Russia, although if Russia has a lot or it's naval situation isn't good, it won't happen. I don't remember what it does with regards to China. I think it tries to do a little Lend Lease to China. I've seen the WA AI take Burma and Singapore, but that doesn't mean it's as aggressive as it should be especially early in the war if Japan leaves it open.
