I play a game as US, and it is 1942. Germany is gone.
Germany took denmark and norway in 1939.
Then germany took luxembourg, holland and some province in belgium, but then nothing happens.
After almost 2 years ussr took germany from east, and Germany was helpless, and never sat foot on france ground.

In North Africa Italy and UK has been in war for years but, no armies have moved a foot.

Is this normal behavior from Axies AI in trp?

The GER AI problem is a known one, and will hopefully be solved in future patches. The root of the problem lies with the AI's inability to properly use the new combat system. When GER tries to blitz through the Low Countries, it doesn't realize that combat now takes a lot longer and simply tries to use the standard methods. What happens is that the French and the Belgians can now easily stop the Germans, since the battles now take a lot longer and therefore reinforcements bring the German advance to a halt. Additionally, the fact that Liége is an urban province in this mod makes the fighting there all the more harder for the Germans. Add to this the fact that the German AI has problems managing manpower and you'll see why the Germans tend to get stuck in the Low Countries.
