1939 start, I'm playing France. There's literally nothing defending luxembourg, I'm not sending anything in to help them. Yet the AI won't send a SINGLE ONE of their 12 divisions at their border in to capture it.
They've just been standing there ever since they declared war.

Hi,

I'm currently trying to verify your issue and have been unable to replicate this. Germany takes Luxembourg within a day of starting from your save for me. Are you running any mods, beta patches or anything similiar to that? Have you used any console commands?

That's odd. I'm using colored buttons, clearer unit selection and aydia's historical flag pack. None of those should affect ai behavior I think?
When I load the save, Germany just sits there forever without moving in a single division.

Just tried it with those mods on as well, Germany takes Luxembourg by 4:00, 18. Nov 1939. You might want to try verifying the integrity of your hoi4 install or just plain reinstalling it since this doesn't seem to be an issue of the game itself. I will in the meantime try this on a few other machines just to make sure.

The issue is how indecisive the AI is. It switches orders almost every hour.

The issue with that is, that I know of that behavior, but I am not seeing it in the save. When I load that save, the AI moves immediately, taking Luxembourg very quickly. Simply put, this might have something to do with too much unit shuffling but it might also be a separate issue and the more information I have, the more save games we can use to verify that, the faster we can get to the bottom of it.

I've noticed a behaviour in some games, when I've stopped for the day and saved, things were quiet, then when I load the save the next day, the AI seems to wake up, and start attacking again.
