Sample Game showing AI in ActionIn this example, still using the field at Elk Grove to explore, the game was chosen as a diagonal arrival of both forces, with locations and times randomly assessed.The situation was immediately interesting as the Union was faced with a decision, as only one brigade made it to the field on the first turn and the others followed on turns 5 and 8, albeit at the same location West (left) of William's Store. The rebels arrived on turns 2 and 2 and 4, and while they had further to go, the error made by the die roll result of the AI ceded the entire north part of the board to a wide Confederate flanking move. Note that had the AI not been used to derive this result, this kind of action probably never would have been done by human players, but because it was a conceivable move, the A.I. decided a bad move with a probability of only 40%. |
