Italians won't move in greece ?

[levince55]

Hello

Is it a bug ? In the greece scenario I've captured Ionnanina in 20 turns, objective is marked as green. The italian army is supposed to advance but then nothing happens. As a result I can't destroy 25 greek units.

Any help ?

Can you attach a savegame? I have never been able to reproduce this issue myself, although others have reported it as well.

I tried to attach a savegame but... "The extension saz is not allowed."

Do you have an e-mail or something ?

Thanks. Here is the savegame (turn 19)

Have you advanced all or part of the units that took the objective toward the west & the Italian forces? I have noticed that helping to cut off the Greeks supply seems to make the Italian forces much more active and greatly assists in the destruction of Greek units.

Yes I cut the greek units from the rear but these lazy italians don't move an inch.

Apart from this bug I have to admit it's another "weird" scenario not very well designed imho. Capturing Lonnanina should be a secondary objective but if you don't "release" the italian army it seems quite impossible to achieve the 25 greek units killed main goal.
I still love the game and really admire devs but I sadly have to say I find this "Blitzkrieg" quite disappoiting. (Scenario's balance issues, weird scenario concept like Dunkirk, logistics have to be revised if your tanks can be cut out so easily etc)

Guess I'll have to cheat to see the plains of Russia...

Second try and this time... the italian army has launched its offensive BEFORE I reached the secondary objective ! Thus they're being slaughtered.

My Italians in Greece didn't move an inch either. Guess they roleplay very accurately in this scenario.
Maybe the reason was that I didn't go directly west to the Italians and rather only south at beginning.

Third try was the good one ! The Italians did their job fine at the right moment.
It appears to be a random bug...
I also changed my initial deployment and units.

I have played the Blitzkrieg game4x now, The Italians trigger after you take that South-West objective, of the four games, the Italians failed to move once.

Yeah Italy won't always attack and just site idle sometimes even after you cut off the Greek supplies.
