How is Finland?

[Stamb]

Am I the only one who expects to receive I Fin. Corps as Fin. Expeditionary Corps on a map? This is what I can see from a message. But I Fin. corps is still in Finland and locked.

Is this a bug?

As far as I'm aware you don't get the I Corps. The finnish divisions should appear in your reinforcement long, usually arriving in like 3-4 turns. You'd expect them to appear at, well, Leningrad, but hey, they appear in Germany.

[Stamb]

Yeah. I got divisions in Rostock. And no Corps. And I wonder if this is a bug? Foreign divisions take 3 capacity slots each. It is pretty hard to fit them on map. Whole German corps is needed for 3 divisions.

[Hardradi]

The Corps is not included as part of the event.

I dont think the in game Event functionality allows you to place units on the map in specific locations.

[Stamb]

But it says that I Fin. corps becomes Fin. Expeditionary Corps under direct German control and available for on map operations.

I do not see Fin. Expeditionary Corps, I still see I Fin. corps and it is not on the map nor under German control

[AlbertN]

That text is fluff.

The real effect text is the one below that it lists clearly only 3 divisions are arriving; and then that the TB needs are altered.

[Stamb]

Then this text needs to be edited. Or, which is more reasonable thing to do, add that Finish corps to a map. I think it is right idea that Finns arrive with their corps, agree?

[AlbertN]

I do agree that the Corps should arrive on map too.

But all the events have a 'text for historical sake' component, and an 'text depicting game effect' component.
So one is litteral flavour!

You'd expect them to appear at, well, Leningrad, but hey, they appear in Germany.

Could that have to do with reinforcements being hardcoded? Manual says you can bring them in from reserve directly to the map, but only inside your original (1941) borders.

Otherwise, Finland works ok at the moment.

After all, it was a low intensity theatre for most of the war, also due to political reasons.

[malyhin1517]

There are fixed hexes for the arrival of units on the map from the theater. From Finland, units arrive in northern Germany.

3. Event for (small) chance of severing Murmansk rail connection. That'd require reducing Lend-Lease a bit (most of it came via Persia).

I doubt there was any realistic chance of cutting it permanently. There were no real supply connections the Finns could have used in that direction for logistics, whereas the Soviets were literally supplied by one of the main arteries of lend-lease.

Finns were supplied in that direction by the part of Murmansk railroad which was captured.
Military possibilities for success existed according to this Master’s thesis on the topic.
