AI deploying/generating units behind enemy lines???

[Mobryan]

Fighting a special battle on my Russian LC, delay against a Finnish counterattack. The AI deployed units literally all over the map, including at least one platoon directly on top of a set of objective hex's...

Is this a special battle thing, a tactic I haven't run into before, or what? One thing's for damn sure, I'm not fighting against the Finns anymore. They treat me like a chicken egg in a cement mixer.

It is my understanding that the AI would have a start line also.
It would be advanceing and have to take your OH's.
In your case it would mean the AI start line overlapped yours,unless i'm missing something,that should not happen.
Sorry i'm clueless
Anyone else?

If you have it I would post a save game for the team to look at.

The AI will occasionally deploy a formation or two in advance of it's start line and that is normal coded behaviour. It would be good to see a save game of this. I've never heard of it before. Where there a lot of lakes by any chance ?

If there are big lumps of deep water, the deployment routine moves the AI troops forwards till it finds land if deployed in deep water. It stops them drowning.

N/A to beach assaults since there are landing craft.

I'll post a save game as soon as someone tells me how to I've got T0,T1, and T10 savegames. There are lots of lakes, but we're not talking about a few hex's, rather, they had units 3/4's of the way across the map. It's actually a fun challenge, and a pretty accurate representation of being in a country where EVERYBODY hates you. I don't think I'm going to win this one, I have a beat up core, few reinforcements, and enemy units all over my rear.
