ORIGINAL: brian brian But when Germany aligns Finland, they are not surprised....so the set-up routine needs to keep that in mind. And just because a paradrop is possible, you have to consider how likely it is. A single PARA corps against a city is not very likely to succeed...is there also enough ground support factors in range to double the strength? Even if so, might it be better to dare the enemy to drop, then walk back and crush their lonely PARA? And as Paul mentions, enemy action limits should be considered. Going back to Finland, one of the checks is for a threat of a DIV invasion. In 1940, this is important. In 1941 at the beginning of Barbarossa, this is irrelevant as the USSR won't be able to take a combined impulse. As USSR, I would risk a combined impulse even in 1941, if I have a chance to put Finland out of war. I think Finland has a special status as a minor country and refining, or double checking, the AI for Finland is worth it. The armies of Finland are often active the whole campaign because Finland is not easy to conquer, as such this minor country can have a good impact on a campaign. I would not want to see Finland fall early just because the AI would not think to protect Helsinki with a unit at least I mean. Only my personal newbie opinion of course.
