Also, I suppose there needs to be an exception clause dealing with the Dardanelles, since every other rule has one.

Here's a better statement, in terms of what is allowed:

For two powers that have made peace, X and Y, where X is the moving player:

1. X's corps may enter a province of Y's if any of the following obtain:
 a. doing so brings X's corps nearer to one of X's garrisons.
 b. doing so brings X's corps nearer to an area within territory to which X has access.
 c. doing so brings X's corps nearer to one of Y's ports or a port to which X has access.

2. X's fleets may enter a port of Y's if any of the following obtain:
 a. one of X's corps is in that port
 b. one of X's corps has entered a province using 1.c. and that port.

3. X's fleets must leave the Dardanelles sea area via the sea area through which they entered, unless X controls the Dardanelles.


How's that? It seems reasonable that a power be able to pick up his troops by ship, even from Constantinople. (But in the case of Constantinople, you shouldn't be able to sail out the other side---that was Mike's point about "unlimited" access and peace condition C.5 being worthless otherwise.)
