Re: [eia] Battle of the Sicilian straits

The reason the Who May Fight rule didn't seem painfully obvious to me was the 
fact that the French were at war with some of the attacking fleets, but not 
all.  The rule states that fleets in the defending stack are ignored "if not at 
war with the attacker", which leaves it to interpretation whether "the 
attacker" means _all_ of the attacking fleets or _any_ of the attacking 
fleets.  The language is unclear, at least to me.  Sorry if I'm being obtuse.

The Franco-Russian land phase is next.
