AI cheating on supply?
This is probably one of the greatest misteries about the game right now: When AI armies are encircled, they seem to regain strength, organization and even receive newly deployes units.
Playing as germany, I attacked the SU. Trying to avoid gamey situation, I decided to destroyed the red armies by encircling instead of rushing towards moskva, stalingrad and leningrad. It is quite more hard to do in 1.03.
I had managed to totally encircle 32 russian divisions in two adyancent provinces of 34 and 50 in infra. No Forts. I attacked a group of 16 divisions in one province, but due to a nice shifting of forces by the AI an bad weather, I was force to retreated after loosing 8 divisions. The AI armies were highly damage too. However, after I send a sortie of tac bombers to check the exact damage I had done to the russian army, I notice that they were back to full strength (i.e. they did re-supply). Not only that, but they regain their organization very quickly, and were able to deploy 8 more divisions in the encircled province.
I know many players have experienced this before, but my experience negates the assumptions/explanations that forts are able to provide supplies. Also destroyed my believe that capturing capitals will produce armies to be always in supply. (because I never capture moskva)
Now, I am all for making the game more difficult, even if it means handicaping the human player. But I detest plain cheating like this, because it breaks the rules of the game, and makes strategies worth nothing.
I would like an official response from paradox about this issue. Does the AI cheat in army supply or is this a bug?
