Major Grigg Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm sure this has been said, but giving the AI a pool a troops that I can deplete every battle is freaking awesome. I'm playing on BG as the CSA, and it makes battle like Antietam not so hard. Went it with about 78k troops against a 66k troop Army of the Potomac. They left with 31k casualties to my 14K. It was awesome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome. It's also an awesome measure of the progress you're achieving against the Union. I feel much more in control of my campaign and my general skills versus my earlier BG CSA campaign. I went in with 67K troops against 84K Army of Potomac. They left with a lot of hurt. 47K casualties to my 20K. On the other hand... the AI's also gotten more... cautious in my Fredericksburg battle. Which is good, buuuuut concerning to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual attack on Mayers Heights was done in waves one division at a time while the balance of the Union forces sat out of range in the town. It would be nice to see that style of operation by the AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is good, buuuuut concerning to me I agree they are getting cautious, and especially cautious in the minor engagements. At times, they don't even attack and there is less than 1k casualties combined for both sides. This is great for me because I get troops out of the deal, but so do they. Very interesting.

I would like to see something where the actual battle was played out by AI. This could be used as a teaching tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
