<![CDATA[Defending is a nightmare]]>Can't find any answers to this:

Scenario: Enemy AI attacks with large force, I defend with large force

First Round Outcome: I lose many, enemy loses few (happens all the time)

Question1: Is it supposed to be like that?

Question2: Any way to bolster defence other than "low luck" mechanic?

So, I was noticing this also, in WaW 1940. What map are you playing?

I was concluding that the AI likes to use artillery and Mech inf with Infantry stacks, getting very high combat rolls, turning infantry into attacking at 3!

I am making my own mod of it, and turning mech inf into artillery supportable, not artillery. I am hoping this helps!

It really depends on what the composition of the forces is.
