Why do generated battles and campaigns play unbalanced when I use a very small force?
The AI has a minimum troop purchase that, due to built in variables, is anywhere from 150 to 250 points. That is the least amount the AI will buy. If you have a 200 point core in a campaign and are given a Human advance or assault the odds will end up being around 1:1 rather than the 2.5:1 they should be simply because the AI will not take less than it’s minimum force, even if you have a minute core and omit to use the given support points. The AI requires a basic minimum to cover the defence (or it may end up holding the line with an HQ and a sniper!), and it needs a certain minimum to create a credible attacking force. We recommend that you play a campaign with a minimum of 450 to500 points for your core. This allows the AI a fair number of troops and will provide you with a better game. You CAN play with less than a 300 to350 point core but you MUST take the support points offered in a Human advance or assault or the AI will end up with a higher proportion of troops than they should
