Re: [eia] supply for allies

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Thanks for pointing out the relevant rules language.  You're probably
right...
    If I were a lawyer, though, I'd point out that the rules break supply
down into 3 categories.  7.4.2 deals with "Regular (Depot) Supply".  7.4.3
deals with "Sea Supply".  And 7.4.4 deals with "Invasion Supply".  Since
7.4.2.2 (the language you cited) refers to "Allied Depot Supply", one could
make the argument that 7.4.2.2 does not apply to invasion supply.
    However, I'm not personally willing to make that argument.  (I think
it's kind of shaky; I could see it going either way.)  I'll leave it to Mike
if he feels strongly enough about it to make the case.
    In conclusion, I withdraw my reservations about the Spanish orders.
