Well, Harry, your ideas certainly have merit. The real issue remains however; the pacific war was primarily a naval conflict with the principal units of strength being aircraft carriers. This is the essence of the theatre. If the AI is incapable of using them in any rational way, then it makes the whole undertaking much more unrealistic.
I was delighted when I first purchased my MGE. It had East Wind/Rain on it, which was the first Pacific war scenario I had ever seen. How I was disappointed when I realized the severe limitations of the AI in regard to carrier warfare.
How much better things could be if both sides could be played by humans.
Oddly, this is one cavern where no one has delved. MGE has the capability to play simultaneously, thru I-net connect. I've only tried it once, and failed, I believe because I didn't have a high-speed connection at the time. Given that both sides have a high speed connect, I don't see why two people can't play a scenario simultaneously, just like people often do the vanilla/default game in other areas of this very site.
