Re: [eia] 2 rules questions


    Hi guys.  I'm glad you guys were able to correct my misunderstanding
about besiegers being ineligible to reinforce on their own turn.  I think
we're all on the same page on this point now.  But I want to make sure that
we're on the same page with regard to what happens during the opponent's
turn.
    Player A moves two armies to adjacent spaces.  One army lays siege to a
city but fails to breach.  Opposing Player B moves an army to engage the
army that did not lay siege.  As far as I can tell, the rules would not
restrict Player A from reinforcing with the army that laid siege and failed
to breach on his turn.  The rules on this are pretty specific.  I quoted
them in a previous email, but I'll quote them again just to be sure we're
all looking at the same thing:

7.5.2.11.1.2: Forces may not attempt to reinforce if they have already or
will take part in another combat *this same major power sequence*. (my
emphasis)

So, as far as I can tell, the only thing that would prevent Player A from
reinforcing on Player B's turn would be if Player B launched a Garrison
Attack Combat from the besieged city.  That would render the besieging stack
ineligible to reinforce because it would be scheduled to participate in a
combat during Player B's sequence of the land phase.

    Is there any disagreement with this?
