AI/Computer Selected Forces

[Air Master]

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.

Thanks a lot!
I will definitly keep this in mind when looking for my next game.

I have space for another game if you are up for trying AI forces. Either SPMBT or SPWW2 - I really don't mind. The only rule is that we play 2 games, either mirror or swap sides - we agree separately on vis and air settings. Optional rule I like to offer is that if a player loses both games he gets a rematch with a 10% balancing pts bonus. Let me know! AM.

FYI for the pair of games I offer, and also ask my opponents to offer, a choice of 5 or 6 scenarios to choose from e.g. for SPMBT one from each decade: 1. US intervention in Hungary 1956, 2. Arab-Israeli 1967 3. Indo-Pakistani 1974 4. What if Allied vs WP 198X 5. Russians in Chechnya 199X 6. Gulf War 2 2003. Or any other conflict from any decade
historical or what if.
