devoncop Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi. Can anyone help.Love the game (especially with the new mod ....thanks TK) but I have a problem with Finnish units , including the HQ that are stranded in Finland apparently with poor supply north of Leningrad.How do I improve this?This can also occur with German units deep in the SU but HQs seem to help . Thanks for any assistance. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It's never made sense to me how minor countries get sorry supply unless they trace to their major's capital? Minors are stuck with supply 5? Now, I can understand those dust bowl cities in North Africa, but not Finland, Spain, Norway, & Sweden!!!!!!! It's dumb. Sweden & Norway send all that jack to Buntaland via convoy, but they can't supply their own troops? The Yanks take the city from Helmut & Wolfgang & they don't get the same jack?

It is not logical to me that a country needs to be connected to a major to produce at maximum. Can it be easily changed or is he inclined to change it? Only the big guy knows. His decision and I'm :cool: with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaoJah Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yes, they're indeed very bad suplied... I just use them as garrisons in France, Norway or Russia, lol. Shame about the HQ, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Spinello Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I also think that the Fins should be able to move more than 2 or 3 tiles away from Helsinki without getting stuck. Even the HQ is often just darn stuck. Well, I know the Fins REALLY didn´t move too much away from their border, but still - they do not even seem to master their OWN soil ...

Cary Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Nice way of simulating the Finns' lukewarm commitment to the German war effort. Historically they didn't go far beyond their pre-39 borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janbo Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well, actually the Finns went hundreds of kilometers towards east -- all the way to the Lake Onega. But Mannerheim didn't want to take any of Russian soil which would result in diplomatic consequences. He didn't want to cut the Murmansk railroad, nor did he want to help with the siege of Leningrad. He was sure the Russians would remember this should Germany lose the war. A truly wise man. P.S Cary: Just had to add that I like the strong ironic flavour in some of your posts, it's a pleasure to read them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Janbo, thanks... As to how far is far.. well, I admit I was pulling that out of think air. OTOH 100 km is pretty small by Soviet scale. . Agreed. It sounds like Mannerheim was extremely shrewd, doing a very good job at keeping Finland from being crushed in the elephant's tussle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolend Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yea and I don't think the Finns were all that found of Germany. It just so happens that Russia had invaded Finland before the German/Russian war started, I think it was what 38 or 39? Anyway the only real reason Finaland was allied with Germany is they just happen to have the same enemy, certenly not out of any foundness for each other. EDIT ADDED: We need to sticky this thread, I think this is the only time that I have seen Rambo, Blashy and Rolend in agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 LOL.. yeah. By the way, the British and French were trying to cook up schemes to aid the Finns in '39. I think they put significant pressure on the Swedes to allow free passage for their troops. Mercifully, the Swedes stood by their neutrality.

devoncop Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thanks for the advice and comments guys.Guess the key is just to take Leningrad quicker.As Rambo points out though,it would be nice if the Finnish units IN FINLAND could move to counter a Soviet incursion into their homeland (which happened early in my current game!) At least it isnt due to me screwing something up! Cheers again Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
