PBEM DOW Anomaly

I, as Poland (conquered), Britain, France, and U.S. vs Human Controlled Germany & Slovakia.
In the summer of 1940, the Brits had accumulated enough diplomatic points to declare war on Italy. Since my opponent had shown no inclination to bring the Italians into the war I declared war upon them and began my assault on Libya. Popup messages told me that the Italians were now a member of the Axis and at War with France and England. When I ended the British turn, the game informed me that it was now the Italian turn. I had complete control of the Italians just as if they were now members of the allied alliance. I did nothing and ended the Italian turn, which ended my pbem control, before I was able to conduct the French or US turn.

I believe I can fix this with F1, but thought I should bring it to the attention of the designers.

I have saved games before and after if needed

ok, rrjd1.txt is a .rar file that is the german turn that was sent to me. I opened that turn and DOW'd Italy in Britains turn, moved into Libya and ended the turn, the game went immediately to the Italian turn. When I ended that turn, my turn ended, before France/US turn. rrjd2.txt is the .zip file after my turn ended. Since I'm limited to one file per post, that will be in the next message

Oh, yes

We have make a short play and indeed, there is a special switch when a country that is neutral becomes axis during allied human player turn.
Game gets dizzy then.
We will correct it in the next patch.

No, it will be corrected in the next patch.
