I was out for my lunchtime walk from work today, and my mind drifted on to HoI3 as it is want to do on occasion, and i started thinking about the AI OOB. now, we all know the AI has no idea what its doing in this area and will assign panzer generals to garrison divisions, and winter specialists to North Africa, so i was wondering, what if i give it a little help?
We know the Poland invasion kicks off on or about Sep 1st '39, so what if on the 28/29 Aug, i tag switch in to Germany, and build them a proper OOB that makes sense? division commanders where they should be, all attached to Corps, Army's within range, right up to full blown army group even.
I know the basic AI battle plan will still be rather poor, but with all those bonuses it should give them more of an edge right?
I suppose the question is, will the AI leave the OOB alone after i tag switch back, or will just disband all the HQ's and do its own thing again?
Has anyone ever tried this? does anyone think its even worth it?
