conquered.

3.0 Expanded Intervention
4.0 Set Up Changes
The rules surrounding Finland require a little bit of clarification. There are two
scenarios that could play out regarding this conflict:
USSR & GERMANY SIGN THE MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP PACT:
Once the M-R pact is signed, the USSR can attack and attempt to
capture the Vipuri land zone in Finland, after which the war is over
and Finland and the USSR return to a peaceful status. Usually the
USSR will win this battle but if they don’t Finland would remain under
German Control until they do win. Afterwards Germany would not
maintain control of Finland but Finland will Align with Germany as
soon as Germany and the USSR are at war.
USSR INVADES FINLAND WITHOUT SIGNING THE
PACT: This is where things get a little bit more interesting. First,
without the pact nothing stops the USSR from rolling over all of
Finland. Finland will remain German controlled throughout the rest
of the game until the USSR and Germany are at war in which case it
Aligns. Finland remains at war with the USSR until it is conquered.
Thus lend-lease can continue to be pumped into the country
Expansion Compatibility
Partisans: If playing with the Partisans
(PAR) expansion, the Finnish player may
convert any number of Utti Jaeger units into a
Partisans during friendly or enemy combat
movement. The unit remains a Partisan for
the rest of the game. A Sissi infantry that is
selected as a casualty is not eliminated but
replaced with a partisan.
