What is the AI level?

I asked because I just play Marathon battle and the Persian split to let their supply train charge my hoplites? So I wonder if their is a serious issue with the AI or the game? I never played te table version but I have played wargames for years and I don't see any rationnal for a supply train to charge heavy infantry.
Best regards,

I think the problem is that the supply train in Marathon is classified as mob, and thus the AI believes it is a fighting unit.
In my experience, supply trains work better if they are classified as baggage. Note that then they can not be ordered to move, although they will retreat if broken and can move quite a lot of hexes that way (however, I guess in Marathon that would not happen, the supply train would be destroyed against the impassable water)
