Again with the invasion problems! I'm at May 22 1942 Europe Italian Option, German Army occupied Southern England. I moved a German infantry division (with 50 Landing ships stockpile) to Dublin (tried southern port too), in one move and unable to invade in multiple attempts (clear weather both embarking and debarking sites).

Do you have Italian ships with them?

Hee-hee. No. The German division was by itself. I tried a German cavalry corps too, same. No go. Both alone.

You have enough landing craft I assume? The weather is right? You are at war?

Post a screen shot please so I can replicate on my end.

Germans have 50 landing ship stockpile, clear weather, mid-May, division sized-invader unaccompanied.
But guess what?! Thinking of World War II Ireland as part of modern UK, I as Axis Germany had not declared war on Ireland, so declaring war on Ireland opened up my ability to have a successful invasion of Dublin! But as an experienced War Plan player this happened again and I think we've talked about adding a pop-up dialog "Do you want to invade ______ (fill in country)?" Have you declared war?
But while we're talking about the situation (and my forgetfulness) even as I declared war on Ireland and again clicked on transport-invasion button, it was very hard to see the (invasion beach) orange light up behind the unit icon and for somebody first playing the game they might not notice it at all. So that would be under consideration for a fix.

If you get the latest beta I fixed quite a few issues.

OK, thanks! But I'm beta-less. I'll wait.
Thanks for your attention (and patience).

My pleasure
