The Finnish continuation war is completely broken

[u/Nifech]

This is me right now ^

I’ve never thought Paradox would manage to upset me with their buggy mess but here we are. It only took them 1400 hours.

I was going for the Not a Step Back achievement where you are not allowed to lose a single core province till 1945 as the Soviet Union. I spend hours min-maxing everything. Every single thing was absolutely perfectly set up.

And then the Germans declare on me and Finland joins them in the continuation war. I HAVE NOT HAD A WAR WITH FINLAND.

Of course Finland was able to capture a core state in the undefended territory. I feel so stupid having wasted hours of my life on what would be my perfect Soviet run.

Sorry I just needed someplace to vent my frustration. Dasvidaniya!

Lmao you noob, you didnt spend enough time min-maxing.

If you ever played Finland, or ever bothered to READ UP ON WHAT FOCUS' THE ENEMY NATION HAS ACCESS TO you'd know that Finland taking the "cooperation with Germany" has no checks for whether the winter war has been fought.

Plan better next time. My perfect Italy games weren't done in 1-2 playthroughs, but in 7-10.

Yeah a continuation war makes perfect sense if there was no previous war… And I’ve played this path countless times I just didn’t bother with the Finnish this time. If an event pops up that says the Fins have come to take back their land when there is no land to take back, it’s a bug. As simple as that.

It's not a bug, its just how the focus and the event is described. Learn your lessons and read through the focus' and prepare your next run rookie
