Re: [eia] Turkish Land Orders (part II, revised), October 1807

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxx>]

    You can't roll for a siege until all the field battles are over on your
turn.  Since the field combat phase of your turn (combined
Austria/Turkey/GB) is not yet completed, you would not have had an
opportunity yet to roll for a siege.  So I'm not sure where you are coming
from on that one.
    You sound a little defensive/sarcastic, and I'm not sure why.  I'm not
criticizing you or anyone else for that matter.  (After all, you were using
your unused movement points as usual, so no extra wording would have been
necessary even if my suggestion had been in force.)  I'm just saying that I
made a mistaken assumption in this case due to the fact that sometimes some
people do not announce when they are not using their unused movement points
for forage.  It would help me to avoid such errors in the future if we were
all clear about when we are refraining from using unused movement.  (That
way I don't have to guess whether the forage calculation is wrong or right.)
That's all.  No offense is intended.
