• Tanks and IFVs:

  • Close distance to nearest group and attack.
  • Attempt to move forward up to 16 KM
    • If Enemy Base is less than 16 KM, tanks and IFVs will attack the base.

RETREAT

• Units will retreat

• All units:

  • Immediately retreat up to 20 KM
    • If friendly base is within 20 KM, regroup there and defend.

BREAKTHROUGH

• Units will attempt a breakthrough, rushing forward very aggressively with big group of armored units, and even less armored units will move aggressively

Units with behavior altered only by Retreat:

• APCs and ATGM:

  • Will never move too much forward, but will follow along any offensive

• Artillery

  • Will always fire at a group within range, and fallback when damaged except when retreating.

  • Aggressive 60% chance
  • Elimination 20% chance
  • Breakthrough 20% chance
• If player has more units available than enemy:
  • Defensive 60% chance
  • Ambush 20% chance
  • Aggressive 20% chance
• If enemy and player have same number of units:
  • Random chance of any stance.
