AI Germany attacked vichy France and then Spain. Looks like no barbarossa )

Axis has 2 major strategies and a couple minor ones.

Good Job. That means I WONT be getting tired of the game after a couple months. With never knowing what what they will jump it is refreshing.

I start with 2. I am hoping to add more.

Playing as Allies, I stripped French North Africa, Italy DOW's in October '39, moved their Mountain unit away from the French Border, left Turin open, French walked in...Italy surrendered...I've not pushed this one further...I have saves if you want them, Alvaro.

That's a known bug that should be fixed in 3.0. Don't know why the hell they left it is a defensive hex.

My current game (2 levels higher than Historical, German AI): AI invade France ~Apr 40, I let him take it over in Sep 40 as he was only making slow progress against my defence (he would have beaten them eventually but I didn't want to spoil his invasion of Russia).

He then attacked + conquered Vichy (and Vichy North Africa) by the end of the year (I didn't send anything to help them) and did not attack or declare war on Spain. He also sent a small raid (1 HQ + 1 Corp) to England, which I did squash.

It is now Mar 42 and he hasn't attacked or declared war on Russia which is disappointing. Part of the problem may have been that he walked most of his army to the Russian border rather than using rail, so he wasn't ready there until ~July 41.
