RE: [eia] a question about trade

["James Helle" <jhelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess I'll weigh in on this discussion now.  I think it is a mistake to
take the different rules and try to apply them all to each other.  I believe
they each reference a different situation.  For example:
    8.2.1.2.1.5 says a major power can conduct no trade if its capitol is
occupied.  This goes for *any* occupier and I don't think it matters that
the occupier is G.B.  I don't think this in itself causes G.B. to roll for
war with America.
    8.2.1.2.2.2.2-8.2.1.2.2.2.2.2 says that if G.B. is at war with a major
power that G.B. may intercept that powers' American trade and gains the
value of that trade.  This *will* cause G.B. to roll for a war with America.
    12.9 says that if peace condition B.6 is imposed on a major power and
halts that major powers' American trade then this *will* cause G.B to roll
for war with America.

    In summary; the occupation of Madrid will not, in my opinion, cause a
war with America.  However, if either of the last two scenarios exist, then
they will result in a roll for war with America.

8.2.1.2.1.5 states that a major power with its national capital occupied may
not conduct any form of trade.  In my opinion, this means that Great Britain
need not make a "War of 1812" roll for denying American trade to Spain,
since no trade can be attempted for me to deny in the first place.

Rule 12.9 states that "the British must make the die roll during any Money
and Manpower Collection Step in which any major powers are denied American
trade by Britain and/or by the B.6. peace condition.  Since neither of these
causes is the reason why Spain cannot carry on American trade, in my opinion
Britain need not make the roll.

What do the rest of you think ?
