Ironman Allied

[Andy Mac]

OK Guys I have a few hours while my latest AI v AI test is running so I am starting to build an Allied counterpart to the Ironman Scenario i.e. a scenario playable only v the Allied AI with muchos help for the allies.

Working on it now.

Basic changes

Land

Stronger LCU's (note to modders) replacing an existing unit with a stornger one is the best way to mod the untis and still have the AI work - e.g. take a Gurkha Bn in India make it a Bde and the AI will still work and it will be harder. Add a new unit and you will need to modify the AI.

Starting forces arrive concentrated - USMC Divs especially are hard to recombine because of the time difference in arrival making them all arrive as Divs rather than Regts makes the AI use them better - p.s. it also leaves all those nice slots the Ai will use free for other units....

Sea

Adding most of the uncommitted RN at various points
Adding a few late war never weres to help the AI (Audacious class CV's, more Essex Class, more Midways)
More rebuilt Baltimores and Clevelends

Air
Not much I may play with some arrival dates and replacement rates but apart from CV Sqns no need for more air units

Economy
Not sure yet.

This scenario will really only be v the Allied AI but it will be a nastier better equipped more able to take attritional losses Allied Ai

Anyway working on it now if anyone has any thoughts

I like the idea, but dont know if I will have the guts to try it out. I assume this will be an official scenario just like the other Ironman one?

Na unlikely this is just me playing

Throwing out some suggestions:

Reduce the dud rate on US torpedoes.
Increase Chinese resources/light industry.
Replace Percival with anyone else.
Don't set up Force Z for slaughter.
