Sandbox Campaign

[Jean Lafitte]

I can't seem to Detach a unit from Nap's main army and move that Detachment to a separate location. Is the Sandbox Campaign broken?

I haven't really played around enough with it to find out to tell you the truth.

I'm not aware of any "AI issues" with the Sandbox Campaign, norb. This feature seems to be working as it is intended to work. Of course, when you have time to take a look at it, you will probably find a way to improve it in some manner. As it stands now, the Computer AI will Retreat from any Battle unless it has a significant numerical advantage, so, the Player will spend a lot of time chasing enemy detachments and probably never catching them. Once the computer Main Body decides to fight rather than retreat, the Player will have one really huge Battle to manage.

It could be that the best way to play is to begin the Campaign game with, say, two friendly Corps. The computer will select a force that is slightly larger than that. Perhaps then the Computer will fight a Battle and the player can enjoy a large Battle, but, not TOO large of a Battle.

I was researching a bug in GB for attach/detach. I see that the same code was still in WL, so I will work to get an update this weekend.
