Which scenarios? what game mode and ehat side is the human?

THE FOLLOWING SCENARIOS TAKE OFF ON THEIR OWN ONCE YOU HIT THE START BUTTON
AND ARE PLAYED IN SOLATAIRE/SCENARIO MODE:

"LAST STAND AT SEELOWE" (SOVIETS-HUMAN/
GERMAN-COMPUTER)
"HURTING AT HURTGEN" (US-HUMAN/GERMAN-COMPUTER)
"WE'LL START HERE" (US-HUMAN/GERMAN-COMPUTER)

THE ONLY SCENARIO THAT I'VE ENGAGED THAT STARTED NORMALLY WAS "TAKING TUETZPUNKE"
(GREECE-HUMAN/GERMAN-COMPUTER) AND PLAYED
LIKE A CHARM.

THX FOR YOUR HELP/TIME PAUL!

FORGOT TO ADD, ONCE THE START BUTTON IS HIT,
THE AI TAKES OVER AND STARTS PLAY FOR APPROX.
1MIN, THEN RETURNS TO THE GRAY MENU PAGE W/
THE START BUTTON.

OK - both those you mention as the AI taking control have initial bombardments, the one you say is "working" does not. Are you seeing anything when the AI takes over except artillery landing? This is normal in scenarios that start out with a preperatory artillery bombardment.

NO, JUST SEEING ARTY PREP. I JUST THOUGHT IT
ABNORMAL TO START W/O THE HUMAN TURN FIRST.
SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION, I ASSUMED THE HUMAN GOT THE FIRST CRACK. THX PAUL.
