This mod is unplayable as the US. I installed it over the latest 1.09RC3, and Germany has failed to attack Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Luxemburg. Germany declares on them in September/October 1939, but then never does anything. I've played as the US three times, and the result is always the same - DoW by Germany against Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxemburg in October 1939, but come December of 1940, Germany has yet to actually go on the offensive: it just sits there doing nothing.
Okay, so here's the timeline from my latest attempt playing as the USA:.
Germany declares on Poland, like always, on 30 August 1939. Poland is annexed on 19 September 1939.
On 1 September 1939, Germany declares on Denmark, which then joins the Allies.
On 3 September 1939, The Altmark Incident event happens and Germany makes preparations for invading Norway and Denmark (perhaps this is where the problem starts?)
On 7 September 1939, the "Denmark Stands Down its Army" event happens and Germany annexes Denmark on 8 September 1939.
On 9 October 1939, Germany declares on Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxemburg, who all join the allies. Then nothing happens - Germany stops attacking and just sits.
On 21 November 1939, I intervened with the "fullcontrol" cheat to order German divisions along the western front to attack targets in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg, then immediately deactivate the cheat, giving control back to the AI. After taking the objectives from my orders, Germany resumes passivity.
20 December 1939, Germany finally annexes Luxemburg after taking it as a result of my orders in November.
30 March 1940, Italy annexes Sudan, but still has yet to attack France along its northwestern border.
10 April 1940, Germany goes with "Attack Denmark and Norway" in the Fall Weserubung event. Norway subsequently joins the allies.
21 May 1940 (pictured below), Germany has failed to launch an offensive against Norway after 41 days. It has 30 submarines doing convoy raiding duty off of Arhus, and has 15 transports just sitting in Rostock's Port. No troops have been mobilized to attack Norway, and nothing is happening along the western front. Neither the Allies nor Germany are fighting each other. Deadlock. Full stand still.
I'm thinking things got fouled by the timing of events involving Denmark and Norway, which has resulted in the AI getting gridlocked. Does anyone know how to fire the necessary events for the AI to recognize that Denmark has already fallen? I'm thinking this might wake Germany up and get it moving again. I think the AI is confused because it cannot invade an already annexed Denmark.
Any thoughts? Am I on the right track at least? Please help!
