AI/Computer Selected Forces

[Weasel]

I wouldn't bother going to shrapnel, you will be shouted down and told to piss off. In regards to your questions, all those things would require game code re-writing, not going to happen. I agree, I have played several AI picked games lately and we have found the turns are excessive (40+ for an ME), one side gets lots of heavy arty and air while the other gets a few batteries of light and AAA, and the side with the light arty gets heavier tanks and the heavy arty guy gets lighter ones. All in all I have come to the conclusion that AI games are not worth the effort. Walrus and myself tried 4 in a row and all followed this pattern (SPMBT). If the forces could be edited it would help, so both players could talk and agree on calibre of guns allowed etc but you have to stay within that unit class.
