If we're going to set this standard then we're going to have to insist that 
no one send out orders early ever again.  If the standard is that someone 
can ask you to reroll your entire turn because they would have liked you to 
wait versus our previous standard of send your orders out when everything 
you care about is complete, then we pretty much have no choice but to 
insist everyone wait until it is their turn to send out an order.

This is a pretty major deviation from our norm to let someone request that 
an opponent reroll a completed turn for pretty much no reason.  There were 
no errors in the French orders and the 90 some odd ships off Madrid are 
probably just a touch more important to the Spanish navy than the probably 
token fleet relieving Brest about 15 spaces from the nearest Spanish fleet 
that could do anything about it.
