Re: [eia] evasion attempt off Naples

[jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx]

As regards interceptions, I would assume that a stack ending its movement in 
the same area as an enemy stack, declaring an attack upon the enemy stack, 
could be intercepted in an _adjacent_ area by that enemy stack, but not in the 
same area where the attack is being declared.

In other words, a would-be attacker could be ambushed on the way to the naval 
battlefield, but once the sea area where the battle will take place is reached, 
an interception is no longer possible since a battle will already take place.

I am not trying to say that once an attack is declared, the defending stack 
cannot intercept other stacks moving nearby, since the rules seem to allow that 
for some reason.

Would everyone agree with this interpretation ?
