Re: [eia] Russian Land Phase, December 1805

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

Maybe a good way of looking at it is similar to the situation where two
allied forces, in the same area but without combined movement, are attacked
by an enemy of both.  This is another example of two forces fighting
together without having combined movement.

In fact, if Spain and Russia had combined movement, then this would be the
only time Spain could attempt a breakout this month.  It seems pretty clear
that a corps cannot participate in more than one combat in one power's (or
combined powers') land phase.  For example, corps which will be taking part
in a battle or siege cannot be used to reinforce another battle in the same
phase.  Maybe this is an obvious point, but  felt like typing something,
so...   :-)
