Patch 1.2 versus annexing other nations

[unmerged(47146)]

Ever since I’ve installed the patch 1.2, it has become impossible for me to gain control over the troops of the nations I was annexing.

I control the Communist China and I’m about to annex Shanxi. I desperately need those troops if I am to invade Nationalist China. I’m trying to reproduce Mao Tse-Tung’s war to unify China under the communist boots but... in early ‘36

It says: “By annexing nation its provinces and military units become yours eternally and irreversibly”. It worked before!

Is it a bug?
Help... please!

Is this a game you started under an earlier version? or one you started after you installed the 1.2 patch?

hmm...I'm not sure you get military units by annexing...Never saw Germany get and Polish or French units. It wouldn't be realistic too.

True. The only exceptions I know of are the so called "diplo-annexes", which happen per event. Like the Anschluss.

It worked for me annexing Nationalist Spain with Republican Spain in a 1938 campaign. I gained the control over the few remaining Nationalits units.

I had it with Nationalist China too, received all Yunnans and Guanxis troops when I annexed them

That's probably because of the regular_id that's specified for those minor, rebellious state. They are being annexed by the nation that is flagged as the rightfull owner (read: ruler) of the territories. That's not so much annexing as bringing the rebels home to the nest. Then you can keep the divisions of the annexed nation.
