Hello,
Having only had limited time to play HOI2 i have noticed some problems.
1) The British AI in the 36 scenario seem to be hoping for a French defeat, as when i played France, No BEF was sent apart from a couple of air wings. This happened in three games.
2) On both occasions i was not missing the BEF, as i had the Germans stopped cold without any fortresses being built, the German AI seemed unable to attack Norway properly, and thus did not put the correct divisions into a proper attack. That said, I must admit that i did manage to create a 'DeGaulle dream' unit consisting of 4 armoured divs and a couple of motor cavalry........perhaps this unit reached the Belgian rivers too fast....So, German AI in its ability to attack and defeat Norway, Use blitzkrieg units in better formation, BEF response, etc.
3) The British and Italians seem to be able to employ far too many divisions in the western desert. Perhaps some kind of cap could be used to show the unlivable conditions and terrible supply situtation? As it was, it seemed the Brits had at least 15 divisions in Egypt and the Sudan by the Polish invasion (36 scenario).
4) when playing Australia (36) I noted that many of the pics used for their units were Japanese and German!! I hope no old diggers play this game!
All in all, a very prefessional work, though with some glaring issues at present. Please note that i feel my money was well spent with this product, I love virtually all of the new improvements (Though hopefully with a little more in the sprite department).
Cheers.
