Bug: SOV forces trapped after End of Winter War.

[Panzer Guderian]

After the end of the Finish Winter War, any USSR forces, and they can be considerable, are trapped and cannot leave Finland. They can only move back home if they are next to the border, but the AI fails to do so. They can also board ships if human controlled since the AI does not do so. Units not close to their nations border cannot move at all, and thus cannot get out if human controlled. Thus they will not be available to fight against a German invasion. Over 30 divisions in one test. They will also out of supply and will loose strenght. Air units, which can leave, are also left in place by the AI.

Forgot to mention, the events to start and end the Winter War fired normally.

Yeah, we noticed this in CORE, the in-between solution has been there an added line to the end of the winter war which gives USSR military access for a short period of time, in that case the AI pulls out it's troops, because it never uses military access (unfortunately). I've seen all of USSR's best tank divisions trapped in Finland and starving a slow and painfull death, 2 or 5 divisions would be copable I guess, but when you start to talk about 30........

 

[Panzer Guderian]

Aye, that's what I did, gave SOV military access to Finland, and then edited my save game file just before I DOW the Soviets to revoked it. Don't care for SOV using it as a line or retreat.

Is this marked as an official bug by the HOI team, or was it the author?
