Re: [eia] French land phase, 3/06

I agree that the minor country corps should receive the +1 bonus as they are an extension of the major power. I have been giving the Saxon corps this benefit throughout the entire game.

I did indeed think that was the rule we were operating under, and I have relied on that presumption throughout the entire game. (The Holland corps has probably benefitted from this assumption the most over the course of the game.) When I go back to read the relevant rule (7.4.1.2.5), it says: "If the corps did not move into an area outside the major power's territory this Turn and is not now in such an area, '+1' is subtracted from the die roll." (Awkward wording but I think we all get the idea.) The antecedent of "the corps" can be found in 7.4.1.2: "When the die is rolled for a foraging corps, the following cumulative modifiers apply..." In neither of these places do the rules seem to dictate that only major power corps can receive the +1 for being in home territory. So I think I'm on pretty firm ground here. Let me know if you disagree (or find something else that I haven't seen).

Did we decide that free state corps got the +1 forage bonus for being in friendly territory, even if they were outside their own minor country ? I ask because the Bavaria corps' automatic forage seems to depend on this (4 forage value +1 unused movement point + ?).
