World in Conflict AI Overkill

World in Conflict has tremendous graphics and gameplay, but the AI is overly aggressive. There is not enough downtime in the Single Player scenarios for selecting units (would prefer if scenario timeline was frozen during this process), proper recon and map exploration and setting up defensive positions. Basically, from the beginning of each scenario, the player is bombarded with waves of incoming enemy units before waypoints can even be reached or a comprehensive strategy (short of throwing units at the challenge) can be formulated. That said, the graphics and gameplay are pretty awesome.

I am hoping there is more downtime and logistics in Multiplayer mode. If not, I also purchased Company of Heroes Gold Edition this weekend which I'm hoping has a pace more similar to Desert Rats vs. Africa Korps or Panzer General 3D.
