AMAZINGLY BETTER !!
I just played a bit in Montebello, as French. I did not see any suicidal behavior of arty (apart from one russian horse arty unit that did not flee and was massacred by one of my Cav - but she had nearby inf, in square). But the arty deployments were in the whole all correct, retreats ocurred for the most part correctly and sensibly, and not once did I saw a arty unit deploy on top of the enemy or "charge".
And the best part: with this, the AI gave a MUCH BETTER fight (I was being wiped, really
)
GREAT job, JMM, you are great !!
