For sure. It didn't originally make it through to the mod because it didn't have such obvious and profound effect on the military as the purge of 1937 and it's a war game after all. But the event is notable enough to be included.
Yeah, yesterday I reviewed once again my todo list of bugs and a couple of your points appear in the beginning, meaning they are most bugging, persistent issues (not necessarily that they are difficult to solve
) I promised myself to concentrate more and more on solving reported issues. Hard to believe, but there isn't too much of new features still to be prepared before 2.0 version, mostly WW3 stuff.
Israel was always a difficult thing because making it even a bit weaker means a big risk of all those neighbors, weak by themselves, crushing them in their coordinated effort. I already came up with an idea of giving Israel garrison units, letting them defend better but stopping them from having a Middle East Blitzkrieg. So I'll probably take a step further in this direction.
Saar Protectorate, though, is basically a disgrace for me
I supposed some mysterious bug here, like CtD with United Arab Republic creation (I still haven't reactivated these events), but simply there isn't any "inherit" command in these events providing for annexation.
About Malaysia: I'm pretty sure about this one things, that it works, because I saw Malaya get independent several times. Or do you mean unification of Sarawak and Malaya in 1963? This may not work, I usually test the game up to the middle of 1950s, and find something unsatisfying, correct it, and start the game anew
About Eritrea: they shouldn't get independent at all. Do you mean that they aren't taken over by Ethiopia, as they should?
I'm not sure about Sri Lanka (it used to remain a British puppet and I changed that). It was a British dominion until 1972 but I'm not sure if it warrants an automatic puppet status. I'll think about it.
