Just making sure, I'm supposed to be getting mauled, right?

Hey guys,

So I'm trying the 2nd scenario (rising sun) as the allies to get acquainted with the game. Just checking....I'm supposed to be getting my rear end handed to me, right? I have it set on easy, and I'm getting annihilated at every turn.

I know I'm a complete beginner, but at least one victory would be nice, heh....

[Mynok]

Short answer: yes. [:D]

Many player against the AI have it set for "hard." If you you go "very hard" then the AI can peak into what you are doing and its units never run out of supply.
 
You can change this setting during the game if you want.

Welcome to an AFBs life until about May 42.[;)]

Actually, if you're playing the AI, once you get the hang of the game mechanics, you should do a little better.

Actaully the AI peaks on "hard" as well, but it is correct that on "very hard" the AI is fully supplied.

I play "hard" because the AI needs to peak to keep from doing the dumbest of things, but I find that the die roll bonuses on "very hard" are just too unrealistic for me.

I have to agree with this one. All the AI settings that give combat bonus' destroy realism and ruin the game for me.

Hi, I'm new to this game as well. So far I managed two draws on the Coral Sea scenario as Allied player.

I'm wondering, what advantages exactly does the AI get on hard / very hard levels?

[Terminus]

The big advantage is that it gets to look at the human player's deployments.

[Gem35]

on very hard the AI is always supplied, whether you bomb their bases back to the stone age, the LCUs there are always considered to have sufficient supply.
