Two more questions - no reference in the manual.

(some might consider this gamey though, since this fine-tuning of a units arrival on a turn by turn basis, especially if invading amphibiously or paradropping, is somewhat more flexible than in reality)

Indeed I though to myself and still deem that practice to be a gamey one; it's like the planes with paratroopers onboard were circling in the orbit much the CAS aircraft style or were waiting at the airstrips with their engines on and then , once the call for has been made,were deploying fast as choppers. In modern era with all the efficiency of anti-aircraft weaponry, guided SAMs and SSMs, then fastmovers appearing right from nowhere on their routine patrols or combat sweeps - quite an unthinkable situation. Actually I once read a book about the Soviet VDV in which the author described a field exercise back in the late '70s when for the last time in their history a full airborne division was air dropped with all their organic equipment and additional support - each observer who participated claimed that in a real combat situation it would be a sheer disaster on a greater scale than "a bridge too far" and that was when the shift from deployment by planes to air mobility was decided on for good as far as I can remember.
