no screenshot at the moment. Will now try again.............
my corps was not in garrison mode. Attempts to invade were sometimes after moving a few hexes, sometimes without any movement earlier in the turn

You are right clicking to invade?

left click = select
right click = action on the map

you are toggling the invade button right? Something is a miss here because invasion works fine when I test it.

I am a very silly flower. I realised that this might be a requirement last night[:D]

However, why such a clearly talented game designer should impose such a ridiculous requirement on the Fuhrer remains a mystery.

Sorry for wasting your time

Hmmmm
DOWing Norway did not make any difference. Still can't invade when all other conditions are met as far as I can tell.
Not looking good for my PBEM games which are both as allies[X(]

EDIT
PROBLEM SOLVED after watching AI allies invading France in '44. I was clicking on an adjacent land hex, not the beach hex that the LCs were on.

It lights up RED to show you the invasion hexes.

Never apologize for questions. That is what I tell my son. Always feel free to post and ask. Your support of the game is very much appreciated. If you like it write a review on steam. If you don't like it write a review on steam. All reviews help me.

It is good manners to apologise for a stupid question, or a rude one, though I always told anyone who worked for me that they could ask me any question they liked and I promised not to take offence. In return, they were not allowed to take offence at my answer.

In real life, asking unwanted questions is probably 1 of the quickest and best ways to get into trouble, but no doubt your son will learn that soon: within a few minutes if he joins any very heirarchical organisation such as the military, or one with very rigid dogma.

I can't write a steam review because I didn't buy it on steam. I prefer to give all the money to Matrix, which may even mean a little more for you :)

Can you make a pop up screen when trying to invade a hex with the reason why it is not possible? Or somerhing like " you are not at war with norway, declare war to invade this hex? Yes - no - cancel". Why does the game not show automaticly all the hexes in the entire map that are invable if you click the unload button?

There are several in the game. The "z" key now shows all invadable hexes once you click on a fleet within its move range.

Invadable is a word I just made up.
