Useless Alied Troops not coming to your aid

[CylonAndrew]

I have been frustrated playing as the French in the 1933 scenario of the latest Beta not being able to receive British Reinforcements since they wont let me take control of their country. To make things worse, they keep landing 20 divisions in Belgium and immediately bring them back. To make things worse playing as Britain in the new 1941 scenario, I found myself single handedly conquering Europe as the Soviets were on the brink of defeat (Moscow taken, Leningrad under siege, the Caucus a battle ground, and a desperate holdout in the Crimea). I was glad to the the Americans making a massive invasion of defeated China as I could not hold India due to my invasion of Italy and later France and Germany itself. The Americans had 20 divisions on coastal provinces far away from the enemy, and they even placed about 25 divisions in England, but I saw no foreign troops aiding me in Europe. I eventually got to the modern borders of Germany up to Austria and Czechoslovakia only to find the soviets somehow build 500 divisions after appearing to be utterly crushed and we were at war for some reason after I annexed Germany.

So I hope you can see my grievances with an otherwise amazing new patch

It's an old issue with ai frontages, ai can't send aid to another country except through expeditionary forces unless they are the "leader" on a front, and there can only be one leader in an alliance. It's incredibly retarded.

I thought I was the leader. Well I guess I could suggest that with these new scenarios to play with, maybe its time to be perfecting the AI for the next patch. I love the fact that the AI for the USA made a massive invasion of China, hate that the AI sent troops to all fronts except my front against Germany.

No, you are the Alliance Leader, not the "AI Front" Leader. By default, the "AI Front" leader is the alliance leader unless they are human, then it is the next largest participant (or second country or something).

Only the "AI Front" Leader will send divisions to other countries on the front to help defend. Other countries will only send expeditionary divisions. Ex. if I played as Russia with Hungary and Bulgaria in my alliance, normally Russia would be the front leader, but since I'm human, it goes to Hungary. Bulgaria gives me expeditionary forces. Hungary sends her divisions north to help fortify my front against Germany.

I would love an improvement so all countries in an alliance actively sent help in a coordinated manner.
