Re: [eia] battle correction

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxx>]

    I don't think it's possible that one cavalry corps can be removed after
the battle, is it?  The Rumelia cavalry corps loses 3 feudal cavalry as part
of the pinning force.  That leaves it with 5 FC.  The II Anatolia corps had
5 FC to begin with, but it could not take any of the casualties sustained by
the pinning force.  Then in pursuit 3 more cavalry are lost, but no matter
how you divide up those casualties, there is no way to reduce either cavalry
corps to zero factors.
    My understanding was that Turkish feudal corps cannot exchange factors.
If this understanding is correct, then I don't see how you can remove a
feudal cavalry corps as part of the battle losses.  Am I forgetting
something?
