Re: [eia] retreat rules settled

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

As Jim said, the Wurttemburg corps moves from Metz to Le Havre and besieges
the city.  An additional depot is created ($1) on the VI fleet in the
English Channel to feed it, at a cost of $2.  So Great Britain's total cost
for the month is $10.  A siege roll is on the way, although even if the city
is taken, that will just push the French fleet into the blockade box, with
no naval battle, since the city is not blockaded.
