[eia] corps placement

["James Helle" <jhelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question:  The rules state that a newly purchased corps may be placed in an "unbesieged home nation city..."(5.2.1.2).  How does the enemy depot and garrison factor at Lille affect this?  The depot garrison cannot besiege the city so logic tells me that the rules allow me to place a corps there.  This should result in a trivial combat, but can combat be initiated in the reinforcement phase?  I didn't think so.  Or would the British depot (and garrison) simply considered to surrender? Again, I wouldn't think so.  Thoughts?
