AI Artillery Not Deploying or Protected

[the reb]

Happy New Years to everyone....This is in regard to American Civil War Sandbox play. Even as I have stated before and asked for a fix, if the starting positions of Sand Box Troops could be more organized, the game would be a much better offer....But, another issue that gets me and perhaps there is a fix is that the opponent AI does not deploy it's reserve artillery and does not protect the artillery which makes an easy target and easy win, or maybe I'm just getting better at the game. I've also noticed that in search and destroy, you have to search the entire map for the opponent, so don't think you have won the battle because no more opponent troops are advancing....Any direction on this? Thanks, the reb
