Fun game sort of, but the infantry drive me insane!

i don't know why but the infantry seem to just run up to a German machine gunner to say hello if you don't order them to stop, and the infantry will run up to them, try to shoot them at point blank and fail, and then get shot, i lost an entire squad against one German submachine gunner because they kept running up to him whenever going across the corner,
When you're playing battles in big fields this game is more idealistic, but when you're in close combat situations, say less then 100 meters, and near buildings and stuff, the infantry can't shoot over walls, they prefer to run up to the Germans and get shot, or try to throw grenades at them instead of using their rifles, this game has great potential, if they make a patch to fix these AI problems i will fish this game out of the garage.
