From my point of view, the Soviets would have well deserved to beat the **** out of us and occupy Finland.

I've always felt that Finland would have been happier on the Allied side, but your enemy's enemy must sometimes be your friend.

I have always felt that most of Spanish population desired an Allied victory, and an Allied intervention in Spain to fall down Franco's dictatorship. The Spanish Maquis were the people that foughted (and won) the germans in Southern France. They were tough veterans of the Spanish Civil War. They were the backbone of the French Resistance in South France in 1944. They invaded Spain in late 44 (some 10.000/20.000 maquis/guerrilleros) with their hope and faith in an allied invasion... that never happened.

I suppose
finland was technically an Axis ally but what choice did they have? they were fighting for their country against the Soviets(who have swallowed them up) before the Germans ever invaded. that they stopped their offensive action short was proof that they were not real "Axis".

Greetings, my coreforce only contained 1 90mm AA gun. However by the time the coreforce deployed to Russia in 41 it had exp over 100. Add to this the Russian AI's use of BT-5or7's with it's 5-7 shots per turn ammo was the only thing that stopped it from scoring massive numbers of kills. The bulk of my infantry squads finished the war with 50+ kills each and this without super AT weapons (but when they chose to conduct a close assault they usally killed the target) Towards the end assault battles by my core proved much more difficult. I usally had to resort to buying large numbers of support recon teams and engineers. And only use my core once the enemy positions had been discovered and engaged by my OB arty (1 btry 105mm per company) Enemy Aircraft became very annoying (I moved the core to Westfront for a few battles after June 44 before retuning them to Russia)
Currently I am playing a long campaign using a single company of IJN SNLF starting against the Soviets they then went to China now they are facing the Brits (3/42)
They have won every battle so far. I am afraid to fight the USMC.
