Re: [eia] Spanish Land Phase, 2/07

The definition of "garrison" for a besieged city comes into play for paid
supply, and also for besieged forage rolls.  We already had a lengthy rules
discussion back in the first months of the game about whether each corps,
and the "garrison" factors not in a corps, should each roll separately for
besieged forage.  That was what I argued at the time, but the group decided
against me, that there should be only one forage roll for all the factors in
a besieged city.

It seems to me that the same principle is the issue here.  Do all the
factors in a besieged city count as one city garrison for paid supply/forage
roll, or do you have to make multiple forage rolls or pay supply separately
for each corps/garrison ?
