the port on Iwo Jima doesn't connect properly to the land hexes. The settlement provides 5 supply but won't allow boarding the transport. The hex next to it used to connect to the port and you'd be able to embark from there, but it seems like it now only provides 3 supply, and you can't embark.

I don't recall changing anything here, though I can see what you mean, so I have made a note to investigate it further, thanks.

playing as Axis, I declared war on Latvia before Russia, and this brought Russia into the war without a direct DoW on them. As a result, Finland didn't join either. But in the manual it states that Finland will also join if there is a unit within 1 hex of Pskov or Polotsk. I had a unit within 1 hex of Polotsk at the end of my turn and at the start, but Finland still hasn't joined, not at the end of my turn, nor at the start of the next.

Is the info outdated, or is it a bug? Is it WAD that Finland didn't join when Russia joined the war? They are Axis-leaning

What is Finland's political leaning?

15% axis, the default. Nothing changed since start of game.

I tested it and Finland will join immediately if Japan declares on Russia. But the 1 hex / 4 hex way isn’t triggering. But looking at the script, it seems like it’s a 40% chance to trigger?

Correct, there is a 40% chance per turn that its conditions are met. This prevents the USSR from knowing exactly when Finland may enter the war, and attempting to knock it out while avoiding any potential negative political effects of doing so.

If the event that attacks ships off coast of Vladivostok kills said ship, then Russia receives 0 mpp that turn, while if the ship is not killed Russia receives 50. Seems kinda counterintuitive

I do not know how that could be as the scripts relating to the MPP supply do not "know" if a unit has been destroyed or not. Do you have a save file demonstrating this you can send me?

It was an MP game, but this is the second time I’ve noticed it happening.

For a few turns already, the maritime bomber in England won't raid the German convoy from Norway despite being in range and there being no other units raiding the convoy down to 0 first.

Is that WAD (if so, why?) or a bug?

I also noticed that Japanese carriers (I assume it's the same for their fighters too, though) won't defend nearby Italian or German ships if attacked by enemy carriers or planes, despite being in the intercept range of the Japanese carriers. I guess this is WAD, but would be nice to mention it somewhere in the manual maybe (I could have missed it, though).

They are not cooperative allies so they will not help each other out in situations like this.

Yes, set to raid. Turned it on and off multiple times… nothing happens.

the maritimes do seem to work when there is a sub also raiding that convoy line. So maybe it's a LoS issue?

I don't think it should be. I don't know why it might be working then but not at other times though.
