I like this because it puts responsibility on the owner whether or not to
possibly strand garrisons.

Small question; why is it important to use movement points as the metric,
instead of simple areas ?  Maybe this was answered earlier and I missed it.

This last bit ("and the nearest enemy area is nearer than the nearest
friendly area") is a stronger restriction than I had proposed, although I
don't object.

One small problem here; what if the fleet moves to the port, with every
intention of picking up a corps that could move to the same port, but some
unexpected circumstance (such as enemy action) prevents the corps from
getting to the port that turn.  Would the fleet be forced to leave the next
turn, and then come back again in the third turn ?  This creates an extra
month's delay in evacuation.

Is it necessary to require the _fleet_ to leave immediately at all, other
than the same 6 month time limit as corps have ?

I think that Joel and I (at least), are getting close to consensus.  But
there's a number of players that haven't been heard from, yet.
