Re: [eia] battles involving allied garrisons

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

What I pictured with regards to a depot garrison was not a relief battle,
but a defensive battle where an one ally's corps, and another ally's depot
garrison, were together in an area when that area is attacked by an enemy.
Then the question arises whether the garrison owner is involved in the PPs,
etc.
