Re: [eia] question about reinforcing a battle

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxx>]

    I would say that reinforcing from a siege would rule out a breach 
attempt roll (kind of - but not exactly - like using unused movement for 
forage rules out a breach attempt roll).
    The other case is a bit more tricky because siege combats are resolved 
*after* field combats, so there is no way of knowing at the time of a field 
combat whether a "garrison attacks" combat will or will not take place later 
on.  So, in JJ's second case, I would say that the non-phasing power *can* 
reinforce.  Then, after all field combats are concluded, sieges are 
conducted (and the non-phasing player may or may not announce a "garrison 
attacks" combat, as he sees fit).

    That's my 2 cents.
