I promised myself to stay out of these HELP sessions, still, maybe I can stay calm here, and at least provide some good feedback.I do not always TC them bc I thought the AI was intelligent, and not stupid.
The AI's strong suit is offensive strategy, and, it actually gravitates to good cover at times. However, defensively, it is a work in progress. We have several features submitted to address this issue, such as, locking to good cover, walls, etc., and wrapping along fences and walls, with a broader spectrum of efficient fire while wrapped.
Please be patient. In the meantime, for best results defensively, place your regiments on good cover as your brigade CO is TC'd. Once all regiments are engaged, TC off your CO and he will then be useful in supporting the regiment that is under the most stress. Watch your regiments, if they become unengaged, they may wander away from the cover you have provided, usually in the aid of an overwhelmed fellow regiment. So, the AI is intelligent, it just needs an intelligent player to know and adjust to it's strengths and weaknesses.
Hope I didn't inflame anyone with this information...carry on General.
