Yesterday I started the 1919 scenario and since the Whites need every bit of help that they can get, I recognised the independence of newly created states with the goal of getting Finland into the war and taking St. Petersburg. To my surprise and astonishment, Finland was devoid of troops. "Well, that's interesting" I said to myself, but though that they were somehow "hidden" and needed to be activated one turn later, even though I have called on them before and there were always troops. Lo and behold, the next turn the Soviets took over the southern part of Finland. The funny thing is, the Balts have troops, as does every other possible ally. The Finish flag isn't even on the unit roster. It's like they don't exist.
So, possible bug, or did I screw something up?
