QUESTION #2
=============================================================================================

-- ==== b) Is there a max limit to it's value? (The GAME EVENTS all seem to ADD 1 or ADD 2 so I was wondering how high
-- ==== it could go
-- ====

I think event 12 was added simply to give advance notice that it is possible that event 8 can now happen. I think at one time the ground requirement for the two may have been different, or there was more time between the two events happening. I don't recall. As it is now, there doesn't seem much point since it only gives players a 1 turn delay so likely once 12 activates, then 8 will on the next turn. I don't remember why I did it this way.

These must be reset each turn, or in effect, the value shown causes an attack to be made with that value. So they aren't cumulative, I think they just cause partisan attacks with the given strength each turn that the event continues to activate. That's why they are recurrence 1.

I used to hate that. I'd make a program change in the morning and by the afternoon I'd forget why I made it.

And for the SU Partisan Atk are the only values 1 and 2?

No, you can go higher if you want.

What does the SU Partisan Atk accomplish? Just interdiction or more?

And can they be conducted on other than Soviet-regions?

I don't remember if the partisan attacks can also add rail usage and/or also attack industry (it might). I'm not sure about whether partisan attacks can happen outside of Soviet areas. My guess is it would, but it's going to look at the Soviet Garrison box to determine how effective the attacks are.
