4) If a unit is below dispersion level and then it retreats then it may auto-disperse, or not, as the dice are thrown by the internal routines. If it is not known to the enemy then you may not see a message. (Messages giving "free info" to the enemy on e.g. retreating crews not in LOS - were removed in the DOS versions >5 years ago). SP messages are available to all players. Or several messages arrived simultaneously, and all you see is the last one (e.g. with fast arty on).

From what you say in point 2 I gather that there is no auto-rally in the sense of a normal manual rally attempt, just an adjustment in suppression due to various factors. Is this correct?

Re: item 4 - this unit was a Polish squad. It started with a strength of 19 and was at 14 at the time this occurred. I wouldn't think this would be below dispersion level. From observation these units dispersed when their strength went down to the vicinity of 5. That's why I was surprised when the unit wasn't there at the start of the next turn.
