Bug? Italy and Bitter Peace

I am playing a game as Italy and I am allied with both Germany and Japan. We're crushing the Soviets, and the "bitter peace" event fires. Italy gets nothing from this. Prior to this Italy had most of the USSR, including everything South of and including Moscow. After the event fires, all the previously Italian provinces become German. This is clearly NOT right. If Italy captured the provinces why should they go to Germany in the Peace?

Personally I think the event should check on the owner, and if the potentially seceeeded province is not Russian, it should go to the Axis country that controls it. If the province happens to be controlled by the non-Russian Allies, then the province should be considered occupied but German.

Comments.

Well the answer on this topic is that the event is meant to reward the leader of the Axis - the Germans. If you ahistorically did well in Russia, then there is the option of deleting that event or changing it if you know how. I would not recommend doing either unless you are quite savvy and editing the game files. At any rate this event is WAD and thats that :)

Is there a FAQ on editing the events files? I didn't see one, and I was unable to get the event to fire correctly when I modified it such that it checked for who controlled the province before it suceeded it.

As for the "leader of the Axis" shouldn't the game determine who that is? Historically the Italians were considered equals, until the war actually started. You also ignore the Japanese. Supposing the Japanese took the most of Russia. Should they just get their little piece, and the rest goes to Germany? Even if Germany has actually conquered very little of Russia?

It may be WAD, but that doesn't mean it's not broken.
