In my game vs Lovenought I was able to isolate Leningrad with Vatutin inside.

I thought that I will be able to take Leningrad and have a 50% chance, after latest fixes, of killing him.
I finished my turn. Opponent completed his turn.

To my surprise Vatutin makes counterattack in Crimea...

Lovenought makes nice suggestions in our conversation about current situation.

To my understanding there was no air HQ pickup. Just a simple reassigning.

No air or any other actions in Leningrad hex itself, where Vatutin was.

Was it also isolated on his turn ?

yep, in both phases as I control port in Leningrad "island" near Ladoga

I dont think this is a bug. Leaders of isolated forces were sometimes evacuated by air and sent to other locations and the new leader was either flown in or assigned from the ones already in the pocket.

I think what could be changed is: adding a certain percentage that a leader being reassigned from a pocket will die. Air crash/air intercept etc.

Yep. Maybe something in between of 15% and 50%. 30%?

I am quite sure one can use Admin Points to change leaders in Isolated Pockets.

Yes that is like an air extraction.

I thought the same. But if you do so then you should also risk with a leader's life.

I doubt we will change this, since you have to spend the APs to do this. Players can always house rule against it if they want to.

So the only chance to kill valuable leader is to attack immediately and hope for a 15% chance because if player decide to isolate HQ and displace it when it is isolated on the next turn for 50% chance there, most likely, will be some non important guy

Can you make it more AP expensive to re-assign leaders that are isolated?

I am sure the majority of troops wouldn't be to happy about it.
