If your going to make a big battlefield encounter, dont make both sids charge towards each other- maybe at least 1. But you have to think about it as if you were the AI- would you mindlessly run into a meat grinder? Try to keep it believable, while not making it lame at the same time- do this and I think you have a good shot

I like the idea of a big battle, but an explanation of the AI themselves would be useful, as well. I guess it depends on whether you want entertainment or information.

Start with a bit of the second, transition into the third, and then end it with the first.

Well, if you go for the big battle scene you may want to look into scripting ai to do specific things like: sniper runs to the top of a hill, takes a shot, then either backs away to take another or runs to another foreward position. This would make for a more realistic combat scenario; all too often i've run across AI battles where it is exactly as stated "meat grinders" where one side smacks the other in a ridiculously stupid mannor. Any adjustments to avoid that scenario would make for a great video.
