[WarInEur] Bulgaria and Romania

[Buckley, John D (Dr)]

Two Points on Soviet Balkan intriguing by the Soviet player prior to war with Germany: 
1. If the USSR invades Romania prior to any significant German presence in the Balkans what happens to Romania? I presume they become an active Axis power, even though they are not usually accessible to the German player until 10/40. It doesn't help much though as the German player can't get to Romania to help (Hungary and Yugoslavia still neutral).
 
2. More importantly however, if the USSR (now at Limited War) enters Bucharest and forces Romanian surrender, presumably Bulgaria also throws in the towel (rather oddly). But does this constitute the addition of a further 5 Political Points as a violation of Bulgarian neutrality by the Soviet player?
I suppose you can rationalise this by arguing that Bulgaria suffers a pro-Soviet coup as the Red Army advances into Bucharest - but what about the Political Point issue?

When the Axis uses naval transport into Narvik can the allies use the French air points for extraordinary air-sea interdiction?

1) The rules state that French air points must be based in French territory.
2) The Extraordinary Air-Sea Interdiction rule states that the sea movement traces a path that lies within range of Enemy Air Power..

I would read the 2nd statement to mean that when moving up the Norwegian coast to Narvik, the French air points can't be used for interdiction, since they're out of range.  (why else have rule 1)
This means that in 9/39 and 10/39 the allies can only use the single British (CW) airpoint for air-sea interdiction, which of course greatly improves your chance of getting to Narvik without losing your unit.

What do you guys think?
