        I forgot the move of the cav corp to Jaffa, so I was still seeing 
three corps in Jerusalem.  However, since Syria is not a major power, the 
Syria corps also has to forage at 5 since it won't get that +1 modifier for 
being a major power in its own territory even if Palestine is considered 
part of Syria, as Syria still claims to this day.
        I don't think you can claim the +1 bonus for anything the major 
power controls.  There's just about nothing in the rules that allows a 
major power to treat controlled minors as being truly a part of the country 
versus being other countries they control.  There is a major difference 
between a home country area and a controlled area and I don't see anyway to 
get that +1 bonus in a controlled area.
