Just a few tidbits will we all patiently await the patch..
Playing against the historical JAP IA, no helps.
The SRA fell.. although a few holdouts linger, but only due to being ignored... current game is 07 41.
Lots of learning how to use the new ae system, bravo!
I have to admit to hating some of the more intense features some of you love. would like to see alot more automation to withdrawel and some supply/ fuel off map stuff, but overall this is an amazing product.

Big ship talleys, the ai, being SUPER aggressive has a few ??? cv beat up. LOVE the fow!
Confirmed cv's dead; Soryu, Huryu, Junyo, and two cvl to the allies losing the Enterprise. the Sarah beat up.
Nomau invasion repulsed twice, a fewe small Islands retaken. Raging battles for Canton and Baker.. and the kicker

The IJN invaded FOUR areas at once! Nomau, sp?, Canton, Midway and Alaska alutions only being stopped at DH! WOW this is one tuff beast for a learning curve! I am not too concerned about the OZ area, they have to supply all those troops and I have limited air and sea controll, and it will only get better for the Allies as the war goes into 43. Gaud fell, PM fell, not really anything to do there as I massively borked the first four months in the troops air area, only thing I accomplished was sighting an invasion TF headed into Canton in April and having four cv's active transiting was able to slowly set up an ambush and kill two CV's for the Enterprise.
A proper AAR will come vs human and the ai once the patch arives...

Good I need v AI AAR's to get feedback

The AI attacks with reckless abandon all the time. Invasion tfs are often made up of all xAKs or xAKLs, nothing else.

However, it does odd things like just not bring enough troops to take a base, and in my mind its biggest flaw is its tendency to split carriers. I've sunk all of the Japanese carriers individually without taking any hits on my carriers. It uses 1 CV task forces!

Also, it won't react and adapt like a real person does. On the one hand, in the game I am in, the AI is sending all of it's available ships and resources to the NG and Solomons Islands area. And it is doing a fairly good job there. Meanwhile though, British troops are invading Thailand unopposed, Java and Palembang never fell, and the SRA is either uncaptured or is within range of allied heavy bombers. They can send ships up the slot or bombard PM, but I really don't care. All their CVs are gone, I am recapturing the SRA/DEI, and the Brits are marching on Bangkok.

So the AI is challenging, but is still just an AI.
