I had a look at this
There may be a slight corruption to that DAT file. I tried one deployment with the Russian side using autodeploy and it deployed some destroyed, but not repaired units, on the far side of the map. The game is NOT supposed to do that and we will keep an eye on that in the next few months.
As for the Finns I checked their deployment and I tried well over 100 autodeployements of the AI force and not one placed any units more than a couple of hexes in advance of the start line so I'm putting this down to a 1 in a million chance event likely caused by another 1 in a million chance where the AI tried to find a spot for units slightly ahead of the start line, found lakes and they ended up where they did but as I say... in over 100 autodeployments not one deployed anywhere near like the example and I can autodeploy the AI units exactly like it can

Thanks for looking at that, Don. I had only played through T10 when I posted that, and I guess "Fog of War" got the better of me.
My first reaction was sending my reserve KV-1 platoon to the captured hexs, and I must have driven right over and past most of that 4%, as I had forces in contact pretty much from T1 to T9. Maybe I kept running into the same 5-6 units, but it
felt like I had a company back there, and no idea at the time what might be in the rest of my rear area.
It actually was quite a bit of fun to play out, as I had to watch everywhere for the infiltrators that might or might not be sneaking up on me
Thanks again Don.
