Is it because you can't give an order to an individual unit of a formation?
Well - you can now give an AI Order to an individual unit but we haven't gome back over old scn looking for places to apply this.
Also - the AI as you know does not cheat - it acts on the info it sees just like you do. However it doesn't act with the knowledge of the overall situation. Furthermore on the first turn many of your units are not visable so the AI doesn't precieve a threat. We often try to Fix such units but again the Fix unit is released when they are spotted so FIXING doesn't have the desired effect.
And another thing - the AI can over ride the AI order at any time.
IN any case, if you have a Scn where the AI moves out of the bunker on the first turn, send me the BTL file and I will see what I can do about it. I can't promise it will be fixed - but I will look at it.
Anyway -I sure hope I get the file from the previous poster where the AI moves three Btlns and sets up a full regiment in a hex, then this is a problem we should look at if we can understand it and replicate it.
