Is it a bug or intended feature change when capital changes to already occupied city.
France: Paris -> Algiers. After Paris has been occupied, capital moves to Algiers regardless whether it's occupied or not.
England: If Manchester & London is occupied by Axis capital moves to Alexandria regardless if it's already occupied. Instead of England surrendering.
I couldn't find any where if this feature changed by v1.02 it wasn't like that in v1.01.

Is it a normal/acceptable behaviour that when Germany first declare war to baltic states and then conquers Riga and after that declares war to Russia. It gives a notification "baltic states changes sides" and all the units currently there will lose all their supply to supply 0 and Riga turns to Soviet city eventhough there is German corps in the city? So in order to conquer baltic states I have to leave the city and come back there again.

If you are facing compatibility problems with old DOS games in WinXP try program called:
Abandon Loader, it's helps you set different parameters to programs and you can adjust game speed too.
VDMSounds helps fix those sound problems.
I found these when tried to play Pools of Radiance from back 1988 and they work fine.
I haven't tested these with strategy games yet.
Both are freeware.
Can be downloaded from:

Hope this helps

Well you clearly had made your point clear. It is clear to me that Finland situation was different than another countries in the war. These points you made have been discussed since the war ended, most of them in my point of the view are political questions.Originally posted by JerseyJohn:taxiu
Can't agree.
Mannerheim was a great field commander, especially in his early years when he almost single-handedly forced Russian recognition of an independant Finland.
But his actions during WW II were bizarre. He fought only to regain the territory that the USSR had annexed from Finland, not to help defeat them. He allowed only a bare minimum number of German troops to operate out of Finland for action against the Archangeal and Murmansk supply line -- and that was a complete and pathetic failure. He wouldn't allow Axis troops, either Finnish or German, to move along the North of Lake Ladoga to close the line around Lenningrad -- meaning a supply line always remained open across the lake.
So who's war was he fighting in? Even if Finland regained the land lost in the Winter War, did Stalin allow it to be held by them after Germany's defeat?
In the end Finnish troops succeeded in keeping Soviet forces out of their country by round up the Germans themselves, in other words, turning on their former Allies.
A ridiculous situation, either you're allied to a nation or you aren't. Halfway cooperation, which is all that Mannheim did, never works. That not withstanding, as I started off saying, he was indeed a fine field commander.
If he thought the German cause was doomed from the start, he should have remained neutral.
I tried to point out what he did with his divisions in the front against russia. Not what in generally happened in war. After -39 surprise attack by the russians there were only Germany which offered material support. Even finnish army got 100 planes from the US. In summer -40 the situation was "Conquer or to be conquered". In finns in my mind there wouldn't be a possibility to remain as neutral territory since the fear from russian or germany occupation. Worst case scenario would have been that both parties have fought each another in finlands territory.
Also what I didn't point out that Mannerheim tried to hide the finnish army goals so that war in Finlands front would not get too much attention since russians would have deployed more troops there earlier and which eventually would have lead collaption of whole finnish front much earlier.
In the summer -44 there where nothing else do to than drive Germans out of the country since it was agreed so in peace treaty. Only reason why to sign this treaty was not to have Finland occupied which never happened as it did for the rest of the axis forces. Finns mainly fought their own battles for own reasons not because they liked nazi idealogy, mainly because they did see opportunity to strike back and reclaim the land which was taken during Winter War.
Well as you said not good politician, but much more effient in the battles. Became president of Finland only to get finns out of the war. Since russians trusted him so much that if Mannerheim would be behind peace treaty finns surely would stop fighting.
But if you want to write more about this I would gladly discuss this via email

Everybody here is talking who is the best general in WWII and telling their own candidates usually from either US or from Germany.
I personally would say that I would vote C.G.Mannerheim. My opinion is that nobody could have achive better results with the resources he had available.
In US, Germany, Russia and even Italy had huge resources compared to Finland. Where as the finns only had to face Russian man and material overforce from the -39 until -44. Still finns were able to blockout and destroy entire russian divisions during the war. Finns had less than 20 infantry divisions facing usually 2 or 3 times bigger forces in battles.
Mannerheim was realistic that he knew what will the outcome of the war be so finns never destroyed Murmansk track where the shipments came from the US nor did they launch attacks against Leningrad. This was only to get better positions in peace negotiations.
Mannerheims skills has been also regocnized in the russian army where he served before his time in Finland with many medals during 1887-1917.
