I started a grand campaign in CC5, and after the first round, I noticed the AI(germans) don't fill the empty slots in their combat groups for battle, so while my groups are always fighting at full strength, theirs have empty slots, even though there are still units available in their group. Why is this? And is there any way to fix it?

I believe this occurs only when your opponent has his Supply cut off. Your solution, when playing the AI, is to fill in his force pool for him.

I'm not aware of any other fix for this.

Have you checked the German force pool to see if it is full before you deploy? If not you can choose the German units for them.

I do recall a bug where it looks like there are empty slots while choosing units - It won't let you click units into the empty slots. Start clicking all of the other units out and you will find that there are images "underneath" other images which is what might be causing this. Once your find those, you can click new units in like normal.

If this still doesn't work, there is a problem and I'm not sure of the answer.

Way back when I used to play against AI I would select the AIs gear for them all the time because the AI in this game is truly stupid. Can't deploy, can't select good units, can't attack, can barely defend.

So, that said why play AI at all?
I'm sure you'd find H2H 100 times more fun.

Now I play multiplayer grand campaign with my brother.

There is an annoying problem though in our multiplayer game. Often when the battle ends, my game crashes, before getting to the victory screen. It's quite annoying, cause then we have to play the battle over again. Does anyone else know why this might be?

Also, is there a legal no-cd patch so we can start playing again without having to switch the cd around between our computers every battle?
