The only thing I can think of now is that it prevents "gamey" cherry-picked forces.
Exactly. You will come across players who may say "I only play SPMBT as Israelis" or "I only play SPWW2 as Brits in June-Aug 44" - these players know every strength and weakness of the micro-era, (apart from playing with the advantage of super-Israeli morale and in the latter case brittle German morale). I have also noted players with their "Pet Force" cruising for unsuspecting opponents to whack.
Also, AI picked forces gives the a better feel of being a commander of an assigned force with a particular mission. At the moment I am only playing AI games and, to be fair to both sides, either playing serial games - same setup and then swap sides - or mirror games, same (but bot identical) set up playing as both sides at the same time.
It is not often the case that one can win with both sides in a serial or mirror set up!
And, apart from the weaknesses in the AI pick noted, is great fun.
