One quick AI fix

Disregard the historical situatin for Stalin. It's easier to view that the Soviets should simply invade the Baltic states as they did immediately upon the pact. This was a term in the pact.

the trouble is, the Russians never invaded any of these, right after the pack was signed or the battle for Poland ended, they did politely ask to be allowed to station troops with in there borders, and 3 of the states agreed to let the Russians in, the 4th, refused, and the winter war followed

in June 40, the Russians finally invaded

Lithuania, being next to East Prussia was to be in the Germen zone, but a second secret protocol signed in Sept 39 allowed the Russians to have it in there zone

I stand correct Hard, thanks. But the problem still remains. Which fix for it do you prefer?

1) Have the Soviets simply invade or be given control of the Baltic states - for a more historical solution
2) Allow Germany to invade them immediately as they can do, but fix the Soviet AI so that react by jumping 2 of the 3 Baltics immediately, or ripping up the pact papers. I think Germany can simply cheat and declare war on all 3, so really the ripping up of the pact papers seems the only option.
3) Prevent Germany from invading the Baltics for x number of turns to simulate them honouring the pact for a little while.

Each of these I trust is better then the current situation. Or are people still confused that this is a problem?

Speaking for myself, I would like to allow the Germans to invade the Baltic States any time, but make it near certain that the USSR would void the pact.

I would also like to fix it so the USSR does not automatically declare war on Germany on 1Jan1942. I have tried "stuffing the border" to discourage them, and it did no good. I have tried seeing if they go in early if you leave the border open, and they don't. One time, I had no units other than the Slovakian divsion on the border for the whole of 1940 and the first half of 1941, and it made no difference!
