Trading commanders, exploit or not?

Yeah, but in real life you don't use up your entire stock of anti-tank weaponry on your opponent's sacrificial infantry, you use machine guns. The Dom AI skips straight to dropping nuclear weapons if they happen to be lying around. (Assuming the gemuse condition is satisfied, which isn't hard.) As it stands it's about 1 part valid tactic to 9 parts abusing the AI, and that's a pretty poor ratio.

Interception is provided by teleportation attacks, which will disrupt movement during the normal move phase, so I'm not sure what parallel you're trying to draw, but I'm not seeing it. Similarly, pulling back a province gives you time to reorganize your forces. I feel like you're digging for functionality that the Dom engine simply doesn't support, like flanking attacks and zone of control...the tricks that are described have nothing to do with them in my mind, but that could just be a difference of opinion.
