Maybe its because I tend to play slightly more passivle with musket troops, but I have noticed that the AI fairly consistently looks to outflank or bypass strong defensive positions. It's attacks also seem acceptably coordianted. Some times one or two units will go in by themselves, but it appears in many cases to be a probing or "fixing" attack, while the AI's main force attacks a waker portion of your line. I have won all but one of the major battles I've fought against European armies, but then I have generally been facing armies with a significant portion of militia-type troops, and for the most part I seem to have equal or better tech. I have been trounced a couple of times by the "native" armies in North America, even by the Pirates on Antigua.
