   When I read this email, I thought surely Mike was wrong.  After all, Prussia had a corps in the space where it created the depot.  I thought a country could always place a depot with an existing corps, especially inside the home nation.  However - as I have come to expect - I am wrong and Mike is right.  7.2.3 is very specific: "A new depot may be placed within two unblocked areas of an already existing (before this Turn) depot that is a supply source or which is part of a valid supply chain."  This language is so plain, I am at a loss as to how I could have missed its import for so long.

   So, Jim, please be aware that you are not the only one who misunderstood the rule about placing depots.  In any case, you will probably want to reconsider your land orders and send out new ones.
