Wrong control given after "liberating" an enemy province

GC, playing Prussia, Belgium is an ally, Prussia owns Luxumburg: Ten days before the Spanish Succession Question event I moved a large stack of corps into Arlon, Belgium so that I could shorten my drive on Paris by starting from Belgian soil. BUT, whenever I "liberated" a French province using any Prussian forces that started the war in Belgium it became Belgian controlled instead of Prussian controlled. Since virtually my entire offensive force started from Belgium I had no choice except to use it to take Paris which meant Paris was Belgian controlled and thus the Three Hurrahs would not trigger. Well, Belgium finally concluded a separate peace on April 6, 1871 (only after I "liberated" most of northern France for Belgium) thereby putting Paris back into French control which I immediately started to besiege because von Moltke was already standing on it. I can think of at least one exploit: you could grow a small ally into a real powerful one by: 1) Stationing your troops on the ally's territory 2) Declare war on a mutual enemy 3) Use your troops to gain control (for your ally) of many provinces 4) Wait for your ally to conclude a separate peace gaining many provinces due to the high war score you've given him 5) Conclude the war yourself Sort of what actually happened in my game because Belgium ended up getting Cambrai, Charlene-Meziers and Verdun while Prussia got the usual 3 Alsace-Lorraine provinces. I'm starting another game so I'll see if it happens again. -Puddler Vic 1.03 1.7 GHz Pentium M 1 GB RAM Win XP Professional

You could just tell belgium not to join the war, then you could attack from their land and you would control what you liberated.
