AI Battle Strategy

AI Battle Strategy - The Computer in Defence

While playing AB I have found that the computer tends to be very passive in defence. Often I have won as an attacker only to find, for example, that the computer has not even used a single tank during the battle.

Sometimes at the end of the battle I am clinging on to the objective with a very weak force, to find that if the computer employed a more active defence they could easily have swept me away with a powerful attack from the armoured reserve.

The computer does counter-attack a little in the defence but they always seem to be weak, piecemeal counter-attacks.

In general I would say that the battle strategy of the computer tends to be economy of force in many scenarios.
