I've gone back to a German campaign, and am doing very well. Just building up divisions for Barb to take place roughly late 1941 I think. Anyway, my main issue is this. Romania has just joined my alliance - but their border with Russia is largely undefended. How can you tell them to defend their border? The problem as i see it, which has happened before, when I declare it won't be me who brings Romania into the war but Japan. Of course, Romania will accept, but their border is still undefended, allowing the hordes of Russian units in. In games of old you could tell Romania to try and hold the line - but this feature seems to have gone. IS the only way to stick my own units on their front line? I will do this, but I haven't the units at the moment.

Draw some plans along the borders, you AI allies sometimes follow them and place divisions there.
