EasyArmy is a useful tool, but as is well known, can be unreliable at times and you should double-check what it tells you.
In this case, got a Generic Reinforced Platoon, in the Tank section it includes a long list of captured Soviet vehicles that the Finns can use.
But I can find nothing that indicates these actually can be used! In the Italy & the Axis book, the only mention is for the Defense of Karelia theater selector specifically:
Captured Vehicles: We have listed all the main captured vehicles used by the Finns up to the final year of the war as separate entries, but practically any such vehicle would be put to use, whilst knocked out tanks would be repaired and sent into action. To represent this, a Finnish army chosen for the Defence of Karelia Selector can include any of the following additional captured vehicles for which details can be found in the Armies of the Soviet Union book. Finnish crews are always Regular or Veteran.
• Tanks/Assault Guns: T-37, T-40, T-50, T-60, T-70, OT-34, KV-8, KV85/IS 1, SU-76, SU-85, SU-122, SU-152. All of these vehicles are Unreliable (see special rules above) and thus benefit from a –25pts discount.
• Transports/Tows: half-track truck, Gaz jeep
In Ostfront there is some ague allusion to it with:
In terms of Bolt Action, a strict application of the rules for force selection does not normally allow you to field tanks and guns from other forces. There a few exceptions to this, however, such as the captured Soviet tanks in the Finnish list, or the captured Axis vehicles in the Partisans list, or the lend-lease vehicles in the Soviet list.
But the core Finnish list includes entries for several Soviet tanks so that in no way opens the door for those beyond the explicit entries...
The FAQ/Errata itself seems to include no reference to this.
So is there some official note which I'm missing that does open this door up? Or is this just a case of Easy Army making a boo-boo?
