Hi there, Napoleon.

To answer your question about this list, we use it as a way to submit orders
and carry out diplomacy for our own play-by-email game of EIA.  It's not
really intended as a general forum for rules discussion, except as questions
come up in our specific game.

But here's my answer to your rules question anyway, which I think most of
the group woulod agree with.  According to the rules about minors with 2
districts, when the major district (Naples) is conquered, the minor district
(Sicily) automatically changes hands as well, unless the two are already
separate before the conquest.  If Spain is at war with the Austrian
conquerers, and Spanish forces are occupying Sicily, then Spain may well
conquer the island back a month later.

That's my view, anyway.  Hope that helps.  Happy Gaming !
