Re: [eia] access


    Can you explain to me how Prussian interests are affected by adding an
access agreement to the French Political Phase?  I find it difficult to see
what objections you might have, especially considering that you did not take
your reinforcement phase until *after* the announcement was made.
    JJ makes the point that by releasing the access agreement late, some
countries who had taken their reinforcement phases might have made different
choices if they had known about the access.  But Austria and Turkey both
published their reinforcement phases *before* the Political Phase escrow was
even made public.  So apparently, their reinforcement orders weren't going
to change regardless of what happened during the Political Phase.  The only
countries who released reinforcement orders between the release of the
Political Phase escrow and my access announcement were GB, Spain, and
Russia.  Presumably, Spain and Russia are not adversely affected, and since
JJ has already said that he is willing to let it slide, I don't see how
anybody else could possibly have a legitimate beef.
    Here's how I see the situation:  I forgot to include a statement that my
new ally should have access to French territory.  When I spotted the mistake
(the day after the escrow was released), I corrected it.  The only person
who might have been adversely affected by the change (JJ) said he didn't
mind.  So what's the problem, Jim?  Explain it to me.  Are you trying to say
it's not OK to correct mistakes?  Should I put Bernadotte back on the board,
too?
