Re: [eia] Turkish Land Phase, August 1807

   I agree with JJ whole-heartedly on this issue.  The fact that the designers never mentioned a 
restriction as simple as not placing depots on your enemy's fleets demonstrates to me fairly 
decisively that the designers never even considered the option of building invasion supply depots 
on another power's fleets.  So my vote is an emphatic no.
   In general, if there is a situation where the rules are unclear, I hope we would all try to bring up 
that potential rules dispute *before* it is to be exploited.  I think this just makes for a smoother 
game in general.  I hope everyone else agrees.
