Rail repair problems in finland?

Hello,
When i conquered ( as axis player) some extra hexes in finalnd, even after several weeks, thez railroad does not seem to repair itself and subsequently supply problems arise.
It concerns the rail in hexes 37,4 ; 38,4; 39, 4; 39, 5? They remain damaged.
Is this an extra rule or is something wrong?

This is a side effect of the way rail conversion works, and has probably been left that way to keep the initial Finnish advance down. Basically, during Blitzkrieg supply, the rails only convert at whatever the current max supply level minus 2 is. So it starts out converting only at SL 8 or higher, and then at 6 or higher. Blitzkrieg supply does not apply in Finland (on purpose I would bet), and it actually is special supply at 5 so until Blitzkrieg supply is finished there is no rail conversion. Then it will convert at 1 hex per turn when the supply level is normal.
Not a bug but a design decision, and an appropriate one in my mind.

cverbrug,
As an addition to what RickB said, Finland rail will only repair during clear weather turns because during bad weather only rails at supply level 5 will repair. The effect of this is no rail repair in Finland until Leningrad has been captured and only 1 hex per turn everwhere else during bad weather.

Just a clarification: what Svar means by "no repair in Finland until Leningrad has been captured" is that level *6* supply coming from Germany won't arrive in Finland without taking Leningrad. Until then the Finns get only level 5 supply, but in clear weather, Finland can do rail repair at one square per turn.

rather complicated that is.
