What if you took two identical Save game files, Paused in Deploy after pre-battle orders had been issued all around, and let them Fight? Fix the camera to view and record (Win key+G) the expected center of action. Stay hands-off and let the friendly Andy I. duke it out with the enemy A. Indiana. Would they both maintain a rough equilibrium until encountering the same End condition or time limit, at similar moments in real time?

Or would random seeds make them veer off in different outcomes and AI choices? What if one of the twin Saves was slightly edited in Battle settings, eg. Motivated for one side, Cautious for the other. Or if one side had all radically different Battle settings?

Let's see.

Two identical Saves play out totally different. The only difference between them was my mouse movements to hover and select various units for info. Oddly, one ended in a mutual Truce without either side showing much morale loss. The other ended in US morale failure shortly before time expired.

Chalk one up for CC:TBF taking the proverbial random walk.

Zip of original save file attached. Be interested to hear how a 'hands-off' battle goes for others.

Vids if anyone is interested in watching the two identical Saves play out.
