I am uncomfortable with "letting things slide" with an incorrect rule for
the rest of a
turn.  This was not the case when we discovered the previous mistake about
Languedoc; as soon as we discovered the correct rule, it went into effect,
and Spain no longer collected the manpower.

If we want to stay within the confines of April, in a way that changes
nothing that has happened or could
have happened, then Danny could have moved the I fleet to Palermo this turn,
and build a depot there to provide sea supply.
Or else Danny could just have the 4 corps at Damietta each forage at 5-.

I feel a small change like this in April's orders would be less of a liberty
than letting an incorrect rule stand after we've found out about it.
