Armies of defeated (annexed) ally

[richie]

Usually all land divisions of annexed country are gone, right?
I was wondering, if anything changes when - for example - annexed country divisions are staying within other, aliied controled territory.
I remember cases of navies and air wings changing nationality to other allied country (alliance leader?), but I don't know if any land forces can do that too.

Allies will often inherit the navies at least. Also, exp. forces will be returned to non-annexed countries. Watch out for this during the invasion of France. France will take control of any Belgian, Dutch, or Lux. forces that survive the initial onslaught. However, when Vichy fires, these forces will revert to their owners if the capitulations or annexations haven't happened yet. Belgium gave me a suprise that way one time.

IIRC pre Armageddon 1.3 patch controlled armies stays with who controls them at the time of annexation. In 1.3 we changed that so all foreign divisions (including these in redeployment pool) are returned to their countries and also all divisions controlled by allied countries are taken back.

Navies goes to alliance leader always. All units go to annexing country if it is a civil war end.

Hm, on my Arma 1.2 apparently all air and land divisions of annexed country are dissolved. Only Navy goes to alliance leader.
Well, I guess this is good idea as it's more or less historical after all, and without that it could be a possible game breaker (you could for example playing as France or UK "evacuate" all Polish forces to the western front before 1st Sept 1939...)
