does your opponent know? For the first time I lost a general (and a very good one at that) but it is a pbem and I cannot go back and see if the enemy knows who was killed. I never had this happen vs. the AI. So does anyone know if the event of a general getting killed is announced to the other side, or do they have to figure it out?
On second thought, there is so much going on in this pbem I am playing I am thinking of posting an AAR on that thread... have to think about how much that would give away I guess...

Well, I could assume which general it was, but I did not see any messages. If it is the one I think it may have been, then losing my whole divison may have been worth it.
they can die, but not by the random roll each general rolls after each battle. They can die if their element is destroyed and have to be relocated in combat, which is a different thing (that can only happen if your force is soundly trashed) from the 'lost bullet roll'.

One more reason, it seems to me, why the PBEM configuration needs some more refinement, notably turn replay for the non-hosting side. (I realize some enhancements are in the works)
