F & I Observations and French AI behaivior

[lightsfantastic]

Have played a couple of F & I Grand Campaigns with 1.12 and have not seen Crown Point built. The French were in control of the area through 1759, but no Fort.
Also have seen too much French activity with regulars, militia, troops Marine, in the winter instead of entering winter quarters. With their limited manpower, shouldn't they be conserving their strength for the campaign season?
As the British it is too easy to take Ft. Duquesne in the 1755 Campaign in the first year as the French AI sends out it's Indians and irregulars to raid instead of protecting the fort. I know that if Braddock had not split up his forces in real life he most likely would have taken the fort, but I can split his command down to two regiments and still take out the token force the French AI leave there as garrison.

In my latest Montcalm PBEM game, the Fort Carillon garrison showed up on location and locked but the Fort was not there. The Fort never did show.

Strange, the garrison should show up with the fort in November 1756 (noth at the same time and place)...could you send us a save of your game at support@ageod.com

[PhilThib]

Got the save, but unfortunately it is way too late (1760), so I could not find what happen...

I'll do a check myself and inform you, but I would advise you to re-run the game once more till end of 1756 and send me the save if it happens again...

Ok Game is at November 1756, I am the French. Garrison arrives 'In the Port'



Save zipped below.
