If you move the only corps out of an occupied capital, and then move a corps
in, there's been a period during your turn in which the capital wasn't
occupied. That would interrupt your occupation. If this counts as
"uninterrupted" occupation, what constitutes the "interrupted" occupation that
this rule bars from being sufficient for conquest? I can't think of anything
plausible, so I'm inclined to say the relief corps must arrive before the
relieved corps leaves in order for conquest to occur.
