Does this happen to anyone else?

You set your front, set your advance. . . and they sit there, doing nothing.

They are not attacking because the battleplanner AI is smart enough to know it is pointless to attack the Maginot line head on. However, if you set the battleplanner to "aggressive," then it will probably launch the suicide attacks anyway.

Thank you @Beethoven , but you are missing the point - they haven't even spread out along the front. It isn't about the attack; if France attacked me right now the area would be overrun because the army didn't deploy properly.

Yeah I've had this happen a few times. Only fix I found was to manually place the divisions.

i ended up having to restart the game. It's weird; they deployed along the Polish border and 90% of the time they will deploy along France. . .

the army didn't deploy properly.
Unfortunately yes, from time to time. I never found a link between the case, outside the fact it seems to happen only when assign lot of troops in one move (for example, selecting a whole front and move it to another)

In my experience sometimes the battle planner AI decides it wants to play EUIV and moves units in big stacks (sometimes attacking with them as well). Try spreading the divisions manually to see if AI goes back to playing HOI. If that does not work it might be a more serious bug.
