* OneHitpointWonder: Most combat units are destroyed after a single hit. The exception is battleships after Third Edition (joined by aircraft carriers in Europe 1940), which require two hits to destroy in combat (whether that translates into anything on the board outside of battle depends on the edition).

If a true neutral (those that don't lean either way at the start, i.e., Spain or Turkey) is attacked, ''all'' true neutrals on the board would immediately become pro-whatever-side-didn't-attack (for example, if Italy attacked Switzerland, all true neutrals would become pro-Allies, so Britain could just move a unit into Spain to take control of its IP and 6 infantry there).
