Some more issues . . .

Just finished a game against the AI on "balanced" as Central Powers. A number of things happened that may need looking at . . .
i) Italy requested surrender and I said OK. On the next turn, in the "events" screen it said "Italy joins the Entente" not "Italy has surrendered". It had surrendered though.
ii) My German tank unit was able to enter mountain hexes (Carpathians near Iasi).
iii) Concerning Russia, it went straight to the October revolution missing out the February revolutionalt ogether, but the caption said the Tsar was overthrown by the Bolsheviks. He wasn't though in real life - he was overthrown in February by mass protests against the war and starvation.
iv) I defeated Italy with Austrian and Bulgarian troops, not German. I conquered all of Italy except Sicily and Italian units continued fighting. I then sent a German garrison unit to Italy to hold Rome and I got the "German troops in Italy" caption as it crossed the border, which says the Italian government requests help from its allies. This seemed a bit incongrous as Italy was already well-beaten and surrendered shortly afterwards.
iv) I decided to stop playing in October 1917. The Entente consisted of Britain, Portugal and Arabia. I think well before this (Rumania was the last country I defeated) the Entente would have sued for peace. In addition, France fought on until the last city was lost and Italian troops fought on in France even after Rome had been captured. I think France and Italy would have sued for peace much earlier than this and it would probably have brought an end to the war.
