Burst of Fire Activation Bot

Order of Activation for Burst of Fire Activation Bot

For every turn the Burst of Fire activation bot will always activate units in the following order:

1. Ranking officer
2. Strongest manned transport left to activate
3. Strongest plane left to activate
4. Strongest (armored) fighting vehicle left to activate
5. Strongest support weapon left to activate
6. Squad leader
7. Strongest infantry left to activate

Of course you can skip activations if the given unit is not on the field (anymore).

General notes:

• Strongest always means the unit left that cost the most points.
  • Cost is calculated vehicles plus crew or cost for infantry soldier plus equipment or cost for support weapon plus crew.
• Divide the map you are playing on into three flanks that have the same size.
• For bot attacks (like for any player) the target has to be in line of sight.
• For attacks the target has to be spotted first (use automatic spot table).
• Units always use weapons with strongest possibilty of killing/harming the enemy.
  • p.e. tanks will use their machine guns or high explosive rounds fired from their main gun to harm infantry.
  • p.e. tanks will use their armor piercing rounds to fire at enemy tanks.
• Nearest/Farthest Objective = always choose the objective that qualifies as closest and is fought for the hardest at the moment.
• Group attack = units attack same target.
• Individually attack = units have to choose different targets.
• Double attack = use main weapon (tank gun p.e.) and secondary weapon (hull machine gun p.e.).
• All units = strongest units in command radius.

1.2 Activation Bot Ranking Officer Support Doctrine

General notes:

• All bot support weapons will begin the game in ambush mode.
• All bot support weapons have to be placed in best cover available at the start of the game.
• All bot support weapons will not attack and loose their ambush status until the first enemy is in medium range.
  • This also means the Ranking Officer will not be activated until an enemy unit is in medium range.
• Because of limited movement range and exposure to the enemy bot support weapons will only move by being towed
