Played with the British and won by a single point. The big problem here is Burgoyne and his huge army which would need cca 100 days to reach Fort Ticonderoga. But he gets locked every third turn and it seems that the AI is lost when this happen. That is why I have never every seen him reach Fort Ticonderoga (your and the original scenario) when the Brits were played by the AI. Can something be done to help him a bit ?
Hmm, here's what I do:
Do you see the bateaux nearby? Load up, float down and land! Separate the Germans if needed, too. I also bring the bateaux down from 'up north' to contnue this method.
I usually take Ticonderoga by turn 2 or 3.
Getting to Saratoga, however is another problem, but that's history, eh?
Now, how to get Athena to do this....
Have you tried giving AI more Activation bonus?
Also, more detection bonus may help [it did in BoA, but I haven't tested it much in WIA]
