Re: [eia] Re: British forage rolls, 4/06

Actually, all factors in a corps at any part of the move are eligible for 
foraging death.  So the 4 factors would be detached and then would all die 
as you are only allowed to remove a corps counter if all factors in it any 
part of the phase are killed.

The first clause here says that you roll forage as you finish movement so 
the conditional order JJ used was the correct method.  Supply is done at 
the end of the turn but foraging is done as each unit moves.

The other two show how to deal with detached factors when the foraging 
losses are greater than the factors remaining in the corps.


7.4.1.1 FORAGING PROCEDURE: A die is rolled for each foraging corps as it 
completes movement (but after resolving any 
<http://www.centerdigit.com/openrpg/eina/#7.3.8>7.3.8 procedures that may 
be caused by its movement). This die roll is modified as in 
<http://www.centerdigit.com/openrpg/eina/#7.4.1.2>7.4.1.2, if any modifiers 
apply. The modified die result is than compared with the forage value of 
the area with the lowest forage value of all the areas passed through or 
stopped in, not counting the area in which the corps started (unless the 
corps did not move and remained in one area), during its Land Movement 
Step. If the modified die result is equal to or less than this forage 
value, there is no effect. For each modified die point above the forage 
value, the corps must lose one army factor.


7.4.1.3.1: Any factors that were part of the corps during its movement are 
eligible to be used for forage losses. If possible, forage losses must come 
out of the factors actually in the corps when movement is completed.

7.4.1.3.2: Corps counters may be removed as a result of forage losses only 
if all factors that were part of the corps during its movement are lost to 
foraging. If only one factor remains after foraging losses are removed, 
that factor must be in the corps and the corps counter must be left on the 
map. For example, a corps with three regular infantry factors detaches two 
of these factors into a city in an area passed through and then rolls a 
loss of two factors while foraging. Since the corps can only be removed if 
all factors are lost, the two detached factors would have to be the ones 
lost. If the corps had started with five factors, the two forage losses 
would come out of the corps (leaving one factor in the corps) and the two 
detached factors would remain in their city. If the corps had started with 
four factors, one of the forage losses would have to come out Of the corps 
(leaving one factor in the corps) and the other loss would have to be one 
of the detached factors.
