Re: [eia] Re: reinforcement at Naples

    Joel, thanks for your research on this point.  I think your reasoning is
persuasive.  Unfortunately, it is all for naught.  I agree with you and JJ
when you say that I have no fleet which will be able to serve as a basis for
sea supply.  So the French will not be able to reinforce their corps at
Italy.
