        Interesting.  7.3.8.2 agrees with 7.5.1 that attacks are not 
declared until after all movement is complete, but these seem to contradict 
the two rules Everett points out.

        This seems to come back to the nebulous state of being in or out 
of a city.  It looks like it's easy for city garrisons, they have to be in 
the city, but while the rules seem to expect that we know if a corps is in 
or out of a city, there doesn't seem to be anything that defines that until 
they get attacked, but by then we're already supposed to know if they are 
in or out of the city.
        I pretty much don't get what this part of the rules says.  From 
what I can see, if a corps is in a city, you can go by without stopping or 
declaring an attack.  But the corps has the right to move into the city as 
soon as you declare an attack and its location seems undefined until you 
declare an attack.  But the rules seem to assume that you know where the 
corps is in order to know if you have to declare an attack.
        There are rules for moving out of a city for a corps, but the only 
rules for moving into a city outside of combat are just for establishing 
city garrisons, 7.3.3.

Hopefully someone can dig up the magic rules clause that defines when a 
corps is in a city when there are no enemy corps in the same area.
