i have the 1.01 patch and Bolts mod installed. i set the diffulculty to hard, ai to aggressive fow on played as Switzerland in the 36-48 scenerio. sat back to watch the action. France and her allies dow germany in 38. germany conquered poland france and turned her attention toward russia. russia and republican spain allied. germany, italy, japan, romania, bulgaria and a few others formed an alliance. i let the game run into june of 43. the us eventually joined the allies. now, dates are not really important here, who joined who and so on. what i think is important is germany's total lack of a u-boat service. there was not 1 u-boat to be seen anywhere, except the few that were in port. germany's total attention was on russia. they had not even 1 army division in france. so, i guess my question is is this a bug, something to do with bolts mod. or a role of the dice. and what i mean by that is if i were to start over would the german ai choose a different path to war. still love this game..........
