Re: [eia] Turkish Land Phase, August 1807

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dammit, I wrote a long email about this and it vanished into the internet
void.  The gist of it was that there must be some restriction of some sort
on whose fleet you can use for invasion supply.  If not, then the French
could build invasion supply depots on British fleets off their coast !  But
there is no explicit restriction given against depots being placed on enemy,
non-allied, allied, or combined movement allied fleets.

Personally, I think the lack of explicit restriction against depots on
others' fleets implies that the rulemakers intended that you could only use
your own fleets, and never even considered other possibilities.  I could
live with being able to place depots on combined allies' fleets, if that's
what the majority wants (although my vote is against it), but anything
beyond that seems ridiculous to me.  How can Turkey be in charge of the
depot, if there are no Turks or Turkish free-state nationals in the crews of
the fleet the depot is placed on ?  That's my view.
