That last one is an important one to point out, I think.  The fact that you 
need to supply a corps that stops in an area where you are involved in a 
siege so as to allow it to join the siege or all corps must lift the siege.

        There is one last scenario where you can continue movement, but I 
expect it'll be a rare one.  Once a corps is in a city, it remains there 
until its owner's turn when they can spend zero movement points to remove 
it from the city.  This could lead to a situation where you enter an area 
with an enemy corps that has not yet left its city.  In that case, you 
could also continue movement.  I imagine this is most likely if you abandon 
a siege and then have another corps pass by that turn or if two nations are 
at war with a third and are not using combined movement to coordinate their 
actions.
