Re: [eia] question about repatriation


This change would be OK with me, since it's where garrison factors have to go, anyway.  Why should the corps go somewhere radically different ?
 
Another question; is going to the territory of an ally (with access) optional, or mandatory, if the ally's territory is closer ?  For example, I have a factor of Danish I in garrison at Viborg.  Must it go to Sveaborg, or could it go to the closest British-controlled city (probably Christianna, although I haven't counted carefully, yet).
 
For that matter, this example applies to my corps, too.

    I would say that "friendly-controlled" would include allies, as long as those allies grant access.  So since you have an access agreement with Spain, the British troops could be relocated to Sveaborg.  However, suppose that Spain suddenly decided to break its access agreement with GB.  Would GB really be forced to repatriate to the Arctic Circle?  That seems rather silly to me.  So is anyone opposed to a rules-change that says forces are repatriated to the nearest friendly-controlled *city* space?  That seems more realistic.

Subject: [eia] question about repatriation

If Britain made peace with Russia right now, where the hell would my forces be repatriated ?  The rule says that my corps are placed in the nearest area of a friendly proivince or minor country.  Does friendly only mean controlled by Britain, or could it mean controlled by one of Britain's allies ?  This makes a big difference, because the closest area on the map which is in my territory is the northernmost area at the tip of the frozen, rocky tundra of Norway !!!  Why would my troops decide this was the place to go to party after peace is declared ?!
