As I can't upload a zip file in the main forum, here's a save file from my side. It's 11th December 1943, the AI has overrun Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, but never made an attempt on mainland Italy.

yes this bug i found too - i tryed a game axis vs ai allies but after sicily, sardinia and cosica the game is ended because the allies never invade the main italy land ..

Yes, we think we have fixed this issue in the upcoming patch that should be out by the end of the week.

Thanks for the save. We had another report of this last night which I sent on to Gary. We suggest you don't bother playing BG Italy against the Allied AI until we've made a fix for this in a future patch. In 1.00.07 Gary had reduced the requirements the Allies needed to go forward with a mainland invasion, but even that seems to be too much in some cases. He did run one of the saves we got yesterday in AI vs AI mode and eventually by early January the Allies invaded. However, we're not confident that this is going to happen versus a player as when a player played the game through he didn't see an invasion all the way to May 44. So best not to try this until we get another fix into the code. Thanks again for the report. If we need more info or saves we'll let you know.

I ran your save by turning the German player over to the AI and on Jan 8 the Allied AI invaded Italy. Could you please continue your game two more turns and then post the saves for me. By the end of the Allied turn 23 they are prepping when I run AI vs AI. If you give me your saves from turn 22 to the end of turn 23 I can see if they start prepping in your game. If not, I can compare your game with the AI vs AI tests. Unfortunately since it didn't repeat with the AI vs AI tests, we need more info to figure out what is stopping the invasion.

I played couple more turns, and on 8th January allies landed Italy.

That's good news, thanks. Now I just have to figure out why they didn't land in the other case that was reported recently.
