Please share your secret, maybe it works for naval ships escorting transports as well

I just set up an AI Group and tell them "Air Defend Hex" selecting a single bomber unit as "target unit". It works much better if the escort and bomber has the same turns of "fuel" and they are in the air at the same time at the start of the scenario. I've definitely seen the escort doing its job, keeping close to the bomber unit.

It definitely works for ships too: I made a convoy escort scenario and the AI ships covered the transports as well as they could. Just use the naval defend hex and assign escorts to single transports.

It's a bit annoying because you need a lot of AI groups but it seems to work sufficiently well.

The Nato Counters alone are a 1000% improvement

I come from TOAW4, to me wargames = counters, I'm not entirely sold on 3d units.

The mod wouldn't have been possible without maitrebongo, which created the original 3D counters.

I started the AAR of the third campaign, introducing a third faction, showing the new strategic map with borders (finally) and experiments with multiple AI sides for scenarios.
