Expeditionary forces, the bastards stole my divers

Playing as Germany I sent 9 dive bombers(all in one unit) to Finland. Well, I then look at them again and 4 of my dive bomber have disappeared...I find out that those 4 dive bombers are now finnish.

The AI sometimes steals your expeditionary forces by reassigned them. The sneaky Spanish Nationalists once gained control of the Kriegsmarine that way...

Known bug indeed.

That happened to me too and is very annoying.
I like to send expedition forces all around the world to help my further allies (nat. spain, japan for example...) but with that bug its not really possible. When I get them back the half of the troops are missing and I have something other to do in the game as to watch all of my expedition troops every day and save if they are complete or reload the savegame from the previous day to restore them...
I hope this bug will be fixed soon :wacko:

A much worse bug is that you can give expeditionary forces to neutral countries, whether they want them or not and at no DI cost. It's quite common in MP games to see the entire armies of countries like Germany fighting as expeditionary forces for a country like Rumania, to which they are not Allied. For example, when I last played Japan and was fighting the war in China, there was a 12 division expeditionary force from the UK helping the Chinese and an uninvited 6 division expeditionary force from Germany helping me. Both of these countries were still nominally at peace. I felt like screaming "get the hell out of my war!".

Expeditionary forces should only be allowed to allied countries and there should be a DI cost for sending them. Until a fix of this sort is implemented, the other bug should be left alone as it is some kind of deterrent against sending large expeditionary forces - being worried that your troops and leaders may defect.
