Re: [eia] Spanish I fleet orders?

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only thing I would ask EiH about is how things are handled when a power
which can choose their place in the turn order combines movement with other
powers.  This could just as easily be asked as regards to the French choice
in the land turn, if the land rules for EiH are more similar to EiA than the
naval rules.  The same conclusions would apply to both.

combined movement in past games, but after having reviewed the rules, I
don't know where we got the impression that this was required.  That is, I
don't see where you're getting your interpretation of the "spirit" of this
rule.

combined movement to go *earlier* than they would otherwise go.  That is, no
non-dominant major power can manipulate combined movement in order to get
the effect of a "double move" (which is the exclusive prerogative of
dominant powers).

crowd.  (Their naval rules are very different from EiA, and I don't want to
bug them unless the situation applies to EiH as well.)
