How good is AI

Frank Hunter's Campaigns on the Danube is an operational study of the campaigns along the Danube in 1805 and 1809. Campaigns on the Danube's system focuses on trying to present the player with the same sort of decisions placed on their historical counterparts; how to feed an army and move that army according to a plan, all the while trying to fight a campaign. There is also an option to allow players to play out the battles with miniatures and input the results.

The AI is capable of pulling off some good moves, but the AI is also moving and operating your own units, in-line with your orders and sometimes subordinate commanders have other ideas rather than always following your plan, especially when they are under the stress of battle.

Playing as the French is straight forward as you have the best commanders and should be OK unless you make some big mistakes. The game can be made more challenging with the use of some house rules.

CotD has potentially powerful FOW, which can be used at various levels, with 'Reports Only' being the most difficult, so the challenge becomes finding out just what is going on.
