Re: [eia] Battle of Leopoldstadt resolution


If we were to agree to use the Forced Declaration of War rules (4.6.4.2) as
a template for this situation (two or more MP attempting to reinforce while
not currently at war) then I believe the rules in 4.6.4 (the precurser to
the above rule) would be the most appropriate and fair.  This would keep us
from mixing and matching rules from different sections to make a rule that
serves our purposes.

In short, both would be unable to reinforce if both were under an enforced
peace and would be *forced* to back down.  In the case of one MP being under
an extended enforced peace (B2 or C2) while the other was not then the MP
not under an enforced peace would be allowed to reinforce.

How will this interact with enforced peace?
