    Aside from a player being in control of his own forces, another issue 
that is sometimes important is that allies using combined movement are 
supposed to move in an order selected by them.  But still, they are not 
moving "at the same time", they are taking turns as usual (which can 
influence forage values etc.).
    So there are lots of reasons why it is best to rely only on the player 
of a country to move its forces.  If you are going on an extended vacation 
and wish to relinquish control of your forces to another player for a short 
period of time, this must be stated publicly beforehand.  (Or, as JJ did, he 
wrote out the orders and had Joel forward them to the list when it was 
appropriate to send them out.)
