Huge map seems to totally confuse AI, in HOI2 there would be huge stacks and
little room to maneuver so it would be attritional WW1 style warfare until
someone runs out manpower, now there is too much room to maneuver!

While AI is constantly attempting to create front line keeping absolutely no
reserves having more then one front he quickly gets lost and once hole is
made it is all over.

Of course AI vs. AI works "well" since neither is exploiting holes but are
simply trying to match each other, Spanish Civil war is worst example,
neither side has enough units to cover entire front line so we have
historical trench warfare around Madrid but at the ends near French border
and around Gibraltar there are huge holes on both sides and AI keeps
shifting troops from one side to the other and barely does any kind of
fighting. On the bright side it does make civil war last for years. )

And funniest thing is Nationalist AI refusing any kind of expeditionary
force from Italy.

The more detailed and complicated a wargame becomes, the harder it is
to make a good AI for it. Another great example of why more detailed
games usually are worse than more abstracted games.

This can be more easily seen when the same developer does both types
of games.

Gary Grigsby's World at War has an absolutely fine, even great AI
while the one in WitP has been tinkered on for years and years and
only now is considered somewhat competent.

Franco knew Mussolini was full of it

The alcohol is cheaper, the women nicely tannned and no need for a
sauna to get warm - why wouldn't they ?
