The new AI changes to England are really working well. There are some huge fighting between Italy and England in North Africa but there is still one more tweek to go. England does not garrison Gibraltar.

Sometimes it does, sometimes not.
Anyway, it NEVER tries to retake it, I guess because the AI fears fortresses.
Btw, I think that tweaking the AI's defense of UK mainland is more important. Not to mention the US...
In my game last night Italy took Gibraltar and England tried to invade Malta but failed. So it appears to try sometimes to retake fortress islands. I do not believe the AI realizes how important Gibraltar is yet.
In my current game as Germany, I have Spain and Vichy France in my alliance... soon after Vichy event I sent some tanks down to Spain to secure my way into the Med.
Once there, the allies decides to throw in everything they hadn't thrown in to protect France, landing some 20 divisions in southern Spain! Of course, they forget to keep any transport there for evacuation, so scratch 20 allied divs...
Anyway, I take back southern Spain, including Gibraltar. The Vichy french are even kind enough to garrison it for me. Then jump to 1941, Barbarossa is begun. Then the silly Australians decide to repeat the mistakes of last year, and launch an invasion with a small but fast force which creates much havok before I can spare units to throw them out (during all this the brave French under... de Gaulle (!) never let me down, and held Gibraltar even when surrounded on all sides).
My point? The allies were pretty rabid about getting back Gibraltar, and therefore lost more men then in any other theatre. Not a bug, just a funny, somewhat-related story.

Oops, that would mean that things may happen in this game that I didn't see?
That proves that my wifes statement that I'm wasting too much time with HoI is not true

Noticed the same thing. 3 games in a row I just walked into undefended Gibralter. For goodness sake, hard code 1 division to stay there or something.
