I'm on the afternoon of day two of German campaign, and I've successfully held up XXX Corps at Valkenswaard using the StuG III. At this point, all of the tanks in the Allied BG are destroyed and they're down to a few random infantry squads. Cohesion on both sides is below half but not critical yet. The problem is that for the last couple of rounds, the two forces in Valkenswaard haven't engaged each other after I start the turn. When I hit "Execute" after giving the operational orders, no icon pops up indicating that there is going to be a battle, and none happens. I don't really have any way to influence this myself, since the German force in Valkenswaard is a base force and so I can't retreat it or tell it to rest or anything.

If this continues then it's basically going to ruin this campaign, since it'll give me an unfair advantage if XXX Corps just sits there with no effort expended on that part. Is there some reason that this is happening, or is it a straight up bug? Is there anything I can do? I installed the most recent update without starting a new campaign, but a battle did take place at Valkenswaard at least once since I installed the update, it's only been the last couple of turns that one hasn't occured.

Anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance.

My advice is to play as Allies. The AI in CC is no good at attacking. I always play the attacking side.

Could call it a "straight up bug" if you hadnt updated in the middle of a GC. That being the case you'd have to assume its a problem caused by the update, despite having played at least one battle on V'waard.

Gonna have to re-start the GC. The upside to that being - real men play at Elite difficulty vs. AI Recruit and get one-shot Pz Fausters instead of rampaging StuGs & PaKs on Valkenswaard
