Tell me some specifics and maybe I can let you know what's going on...

At least that is when I saw it.

If anyone has a saved game, I would love to see this.

Status: offline 		I've tested this several times as well.  After a field combat, regardless of whether besieging corps foraged with/withou using excess movement, or in normal supply, I have been unable to enter the city to lay siege to garrisoned factors.  I get the move blocked error.  I've asked my group to see if they can also recreate this, but I have not once been able to besiege an enemy city after winning in the open field.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there really a bug here?

The Cap'n.

Status: offline 		Did anybody use the "auto forage" button? That will cause this every time when you have both a field combat and a garrison, IF the forage value of the land space is suffient to feed the troops with movement, for ONE of the attacking corps.

Auto-forage forages everything that can safely forage, using all their movement points.
