Letting a combat command attack
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2010 7:29 pm
Playing the St. Vith scenario, I gave an order for CCA to attack the ridge just SE of the town. I gave it a FUP and that was it.
The ai decided to lead with a mortar company of one of the CCA's battalions, followed by a company of 57mm towed anti-tank guns. Needless to say, those two units got clobbered.
How come the ai didn't lead with an infantry company or an armored company? Is it just asking too much of the ai to have the combat command plan its own attack?
I'm not really complaining, just wanting to know if I should not try to do this. Most of the time, I give attack orders to individual battalions. I was just curious to see if a combat command would conduct a logical attack. It does not look like that happens.
