Scenario: Finland Russian War.

Me, playing as Germany with fellow Axis Powers members, Finland, Italy, Hungary, Legionnaires of Romania, Japan and Poland, all joined Finland's plea for help except Germany.

Finland capitulates and goes into exile, Russia now advancing quickly over the Poland, Hungarian and Romanian borders (Italians are running all over the place, trying to plug the holes) Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all turn red w/o any notification and at least 2 of them (I think) were in the Anti-Comiturn pact that was signed earlier, nothing communicated to me about being overrun, now I've got Ivan building up on the ex-Lithuanian border and the soon to be ex-Polish border to my right. I now have enough troops with my axis members to drive Ivan away.

However, I can't join in. The "World" UI screen lists the current war as the Finland/Russian war, I enter the Finland Diplomatic screen and I'm told to ask the "Leader of the War" for permission to join in, I check with all my axis members in trouble but I get the same thing, so now Russia is taking over all my members countries and they can't ask for help from me, because, even though Finland is done, but in exile, the Finland/Russian war is still on and Russia would rather occupy eastern Europe under the free war they've gained by not overrunning the little Finnish Island just south of the now occupied Finland mainland.

I've had similar situations. I've clicked on "join war" with no restrictions and it just doesn't do it. They have to invite me instead. It's gotta be a bug.

This sounds like your issue. Based on this sentence it seems to me that all of the Axis (except you as Germany) joined Finland's war against the USSR. If this is so, you still need to DOW the USSR and possibly join the wars together in order to help them.

I rather push this one up than create a new thread on the same issue: Happened to me in 1.52 beta when trying to join Allies defensive war against Japan. Declaring war on Japan myself is not an option, as it then will count as offensive war, meaning less war support. And by the time I would have fabricated a claim, Singapore would have fallen anyway. So, are the devs aware of this issue? If they are interested, I could try helping figuring out the steps to reproduce the bug.

Always start a new thread. Or post these issues in the beta thread that is stickied up top. Necromancy is frowned upon.
