AI cheats with logistics penalty?

[ltccone]

I have annexed both the UK, South Africa, Belgium, and France. There is no Allied territory remaining anywhere in Europe or Africa.

The US and Canada keep making cross-Atlantic invasions in Morocco and England. Looking at the combat box I have noticed that their logistic penalty was only a little over 10. If I was making a cross-Atlantic invasion the penalty would be closer to 200 than 10.

What is going on here? Is the logistic penalty much worse for the human player or am I missing something?

If you are playing on Very Hard the ai gets a combat bonus I believe.

I'm playing on Normal/Normal. But wouldn't an AI bonus have its own separate line anyway? This is clearly marked "logistics penalty."

There is an easy trick . If you have a small base nerby, make a rest there ( USA in Gibraltar , as example) and if you had make the first step , rebuild your force. The new unit is then supplied from the nearest friendly base

I know how to lessen the penalty, but does the A.I. get less of a penalty than a human player?

I believe the AI's penalty is either capped at ten or divided by ten, because of it's tendency to circumnavigate the globe before attempting to land.

It must be divided by ten because the American landings at Casablanca all had a logistics penalty that was a little bit higher than 10.

Also I think when you the computer gives you Exp. Forces the forces dont have the logistic penalty so your free to take avantage of that, pretty useful IMO.
