Looking for a tussel

As a retired cavalryman I'd have to consider 100% inftough to be the stupid setting (as in my infantry are too stupid to know to duck when someone shoots at them...).

I tried a rematch against the computer dialing the infantry down to 100%. It wasn't pretty. No one is more invested in an infantryman's survival than said infantryman. The rate of evaporation of my and the opponent's squads at this setting just isn't ringing right.

P'raps folk are put off more by the 'computer buys' thing?

NOBODY wants to play PBEM with cpu buying the forces involved. On top of that most people don't wanna play the 50s time period. Try everything at 100% and 80s-2000s time period. Otherwise play SPWW2...ijs.

I have played computer buy PBEM before for both sides, its fine the computer covers all the bases. Only criticism is can leave Command a bit short as did not buy that many companies.
Just me possibly but unless your infantry are running around or its near point blank fire infantry are pretty tough, especially if dug in. Once your talking modern battlefield with decent fire control & the likes of auto cannons the battlefield does become a far more dangerous place for them though.
