Re: [eia] British land phase, 4/07

OK, I had thought supply lines would only be blocked by depot garrisons
(which are considered to be in the area, not the city), but on reading the
rule I guess Kyle's interpretation is correct (although I don't agree with
this particular rule).  So Britain's total cost becomes $13.
