Dude no , the game absolutely does not work fine . In my last few campaigns , the AI made HORRIBLE calls with where to place it ' s divisions 1 . As Japan , I invaded USSR Siberia to help Germany . I pocketed 200 USSR divisions with my foot soldiers no tanks , no motorized and walked all the way through Eastern Russia to Stalingrad . 2 . As Germany , invaded USSR . USSR had zero troops on my border . They were all on Romania ' s border . 3 . As USSR , took over all German held territory in Europe , meaning Greece was only continental European country still in Allies . America put 300 divisions in Greece . I pocketed them in a single week of combat when WW 3 started . 4 . Played a game as Germany just last week . Belgium and France put all their divisions on border with Italy , which was not at war , so I just walkedy my troops to Paris and both countries capitulated . Also , the AI is just terrible at production . It won ' t fill up the factory lines it starts instead , it just starts a new factory line after 23 factories went into an outdated tank , and it refuses to stop building the outdated tanks . It will create 100 variants of light tanks and spam them uselessly .
