In my current game vs Archmache (ID: 394387) something rather odd happened.

He went for the unorthodox choice to not take eastern Poland as Russia, so that he'd have higher mobilization. Then during my buildup for Barbarossa, now with units far more to the east, Finland suddenly joined the Axis in Jan 41 !?
Could it be that one of the scripts that cause Finlands war entry based on german units near certain Russian towns lacks a check as to whether Russia is actually at war?

@ Archmache:

I'll just not do anything with the Fins until the normal date. That way it's just 10-15 MPP extra for the Axis for a couple turns.

There is also another bug. Russia is not getting its preparations for war boost. Normally Russia gets +250 MPP the first couple turns after declaration of war but it appears that script never fired ... Maybe this is because Finland declared war on USSR (while USSR was neutral and Germany was neutral) so the MPP scrip never fired?

I could be thinking of WiE but I thought there was something in the meantime for soviets.

That script only exists in War in Europe.

I can see the issue, it is firing because of the presence of an Axis unit within 1 hex of Polotsk. I'll get that changed.

Great, thanks!

Germans putting a unit in Estonia or Latvia also triggers Finland joining early. Probably not worth it for Axis player to do, but interesting.
