During a cease fire, if you have units assigned to missions other than rest at the end of the turn they'll trigger a wave of attacks against enemy units even though the ceasefire prevents you from doing so during the main part of your turn.

Off hand I'm not aware of any bundled scenarios that start with a cease fire (although I assume they exist), I ran into it with this one:

http://www.the-strategist.net/RD/scenarii/the-operational-art-of-war-scenario-830-Global-Conflict-Europe-Middle-East-1988

To trigger it, on turn 1 use the mobilize Warsaw Pact and mobilize Nato theater options. On turn 2 you can't enter enemy territory or conduct manual attacks but if your air units have orders, they'll conduct end of turn attacks. (The easiest way to trigger these is to turn on the air assistant to give all your aircraft orders.)

Interdiction attacks while moving are also occurring during the ceasefire.

if you still got the toawlog.txt of the situation in question, mind if I'd have a look at it?

I just generated a fresh one.

Monitoring the log as I went it seemed to be generating and logging a huge number of combats for each one displayed. eg on the last NATO turn I only saw 2 (or maybe 3????) interdiction strikes on moving units before I quit and stopped.
