anybody else have this problem? I've installed and patched generals
and it has the worst unit AI I've seen since Warcraft I. Units stand
there like dummies while someone right next to them is attacked. I've
had a flame tank just sit like a rock while a rocket infantry on flat
ground just kept sniping at it just out of range. The worst part is
when I'm trying to attack. Pathfinding is horrendous and the units end
up moving like molasses single file getting picked off one by one.They
rarely counterattack unless you explictly make them. It doesn't help
that often there is a whole mess of buildings in the way.  And the
entire procession stops in its tracks if the target you've clicked on
is destroyed which is extremely infuriating.  Is there any fix for
this short of tossing the game?
