Re: [eia] more 12.4

    Sorry if I'm behind the times and the state of play is now such that
these suggestions are no longer relevant.  I just haven't had the time to
keep up.  But I wasn't sure I understood what Everett was objecting to here.
(Specific questions are below.)

    I don't understand this objection.  Who has France made peace with in
your scenario?  If it is Austria, then of course France's troops could move
to join the fight in Italy.  I see no problem with that.  But if France has
not made peace with Austria, then French troops would not have access to
move through Austrian territory.  Is there something else that I am missing
here?

    Again, I'm puzzled by this objection.  What we are talking about here
are the access conditions that an army has to the territory of a former
enemy after peace is made.  (This is the "limited access" mentioned but not
described in 12.4.)  When we talk about lifting the restrictions when there
are threatening belligerents nearby, we are talking only about lifting the
restrictions on access to the country that you just made peace with.  We're
not talking about getting access to other countries (which are not parties
to the peace treaty).

    Did I misunderstand your objections, Everett?  If so, please clarify.
