Russia surrenders... to ITALY???

I just tried playing this game as the Axis, and took over most of Russia, mostly with German units and Germans holding the cities, but with a few Italian and Axis minor ally units. The Soviet capital fled from Moscow to Siberia, then to Stalingrad, which we captured two turns ago...

I've pretty much won the game, so this is just a weirdness rather than a big issue that Italy now controls all of Russia's resources, but what determines which Axis nation an Allied nation surrenders to?

Hi Skarg

The reason is that it all depends on which country occupied the Soviet capital when the USSR surrendered. If it was an Italian unit, as in this case, then Italy makes the conquest.

It therefore pays to be careful which of your units occupy the enemy capital, as sometimes you might want it to be Italy, e.g. if attacking Greece or Vichy France, but at other times this is definitely not desirable.
