I find its more fun to let them land and use up their invasion allocation, uses less fuel too

I take it as a challenge to blast them out of the water and not let any ashore. Well, I've already let one unit at 3-steps land.I find its more fun to let them land and use up their invasion allocation, uses less fuel too

Earlier in this thread I saw this:
"I know that the AI cheats by effectively having an infinite amount of PP’s, manpower and oil."
Can someone please explain this to a noob like me?

I don't think that is accurate, but I've only manually checked PP's: The AI definitely will run out of PP's. I imagine the AI would also run out of manpower and oil, and that can be checked with some effort.Falcon1 wrote:Earlier in this thread I saw this:

Re: Fun Playing Against the AI with GSv3.00
That may change with larger advantages to the AI.
Re: Fun Playing Against the AI with GSv3.00
from experience and feel, no analysis - The AI definitely cheats a little on even advantage, but cheats more as you give it more advantage

It could be all perception (to me); but if you'd like to find out for yourself (one way or the other), I'd suggest playing a game (as the allies) against the AI with fow off.I don't think that is accurate, but I've only manually checked PP's: The AI definitely will run out of PP's.

Well that ends my game against the AI. Thank you for following it and please feel free to comment freely on any aspect of it. I reconfirmed that the AI is a lousy tactician. It's more than lousy; it's terrible. But; that's not to say that I didn't learn things, I did!, and that it wasn't fun, it was! I saw things I normally don't see in my games, such as Turkey activating as an axis ally. I also discovered the benefits of building German garrisons, for garrisoning / second line duties. In the past as the axis player I've used the Italians and axis minors to perform this duty. By building and using German garrisons for these duties; then I could build quality Italian units (e.g., armor and mech corps) and free up axis minor corps for frontline duty in the quite sectors in the east. A major benefit was less manpower used for both the Germans and Italians. If you look at my end game manpower levels; both the Germans and Italians were in the mid-60's%, which I think is very good for what I accomplished and the forces I built.
I also saw this game against the AI as a great strategic planning tool for the strategy I employed. Specifically, what forces and labs to build, when to build what, how best to transfer / buildup for various operations (e.g., Case Yellow, Operations Marita (Greece) and Castigo (Yugoslavia)), how to pivot from one operation to another as timely as possible (the axis timeline for world domination is a short one!), how to manage several fronts (operations) at once and how to focus in a given operation on the objectives and not get sidetracked.
I also learned what is and what isn't, possible for me. What I accomplished against the AI is a fantasy to think I could accomplish against a human opponent. I'm not saying someone else couldn't accomplish more; but that I (given my playing style) couldn't. What would be an interesting experiment (for me) would be to play hotseat the strategy I just played against the AI and compare the results. I think this would set reasonable bounds on what I could expect from this strategy.

I dug up some screen caps from 4+ years ago from a game played between the Axis-AI and Allied-AI. By the way, to watch such a game is like watching paint dry. I ran the game overnight and made these caps the next morning. From what I can tell I stand by my claims that the AI cheats with respect to oil and PP's. However; it doesn't seem to with respect to manpower. Tell me what you think?rkr1958 wrote:It could be all perception (to me); but if you'd like to find out for yourself (one way or the other), I'd suggest playing a game (as the allies) against the AI with fow off.I don't think that is accurate, but I've only manually checked PP's: The AI definitely will run out of PP's.
