go down in a transport.

[zechi]

go down in a transport.

Correct, a leader may be removed permanently for a game if he is sunk on a transport, but their is a percentage that he will survive.

Last but not least I'm not 100 % sure what would happen with a leader if a (damaged) paraunit with a leader makes a jump and is destroyed either by the interception or damage when landing in the hex.

I don't know if this is what you're thinking of, but declaring war on Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia on turn 1 (or any turn before Russian DOW) puts you at war with the USSR. I don't recommend it.

good thinking, but not quite

also note that the game engine has the Axis declare war, not the poles

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for ... an early Italy activation possible for each turn the allies are below the minimum naval requirement in the Med after an axis conquest of Belgium.

The minimum naval requirement, which counts both French and UK naval units, is 10-points where BB's and CV's count as 5, DD's as 3 and subs as 2. If the allies are below 10 points at the end of their turn (after Belgium has fallen) then a draw is made with the probability of Italian activation equal to (10-allied_naval_points_present_in_the_med)*10%.

good thinking but not quite, the question is what is the first possible punishment for a non historical infringement

its possible in the first allied turn

[rkr1958]
