FW: [eia] relief battle clarification

["James Helle" <jhelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the original question in this debate and my first reply.  I now
realize that I was wrong then and here is why:  Per 7.5.4.2.3,

"If the besieged force attacks with the help of "relieving forces" (i.e.,
external corps entering from another area) _or these relieving forces attack
without assistance from any part of the besieged force_ a limited field
combat instead of a defender attack combat is fought".

Since Russian troops are entering the area (from another area) and declaring
an attack (without assistance from any part of the besieged force) it seems
to me that it is clearly a limited field battle.

That seems to me to be a correct interpretation.

For the battle about to take place at Glogau, my understanding is that my
army does not count as a relieving force, because I am attacking sometime
other than during the besieged garrison's land phase. (See 7.5.4.2,
Defender Attacks Besieger. Specifically, 7.5.4.2.3.)

Is that how everyone else understands it?
