... in northern italy... province with a city of the same name. Whenever I try to put troops into it to garrison it (and thus conqure genoa), I get the error message "city can't handle that many troops" (or words to that effect).... can't even stick ONE army factor into it. Am I missing something?

One bit that comes to mind -- any corps inside the city count against that limit, even the corps from which you're attempting to drop factors.

Grognot is correct. Make sure your corps is outside of the city.

I will get back into the game and see if that wasn't the issue. I don't remember the corp being inside the city, thought it was only inside the territory, but I could be wrong.

I've noticed that in recent versions (not in earlier ones, I think), if you're besieging with a corps and you get in (not sure if this happens both with siege combats and garrison starvation, but I think so), if the corps can fit in the city, the game moves it in.

I have resolved this issue..... to make a long story short, my problem had to do with timing, declaration of war and an enemy nation state surrendering at a bad time (though that sounds funny). Conquring it was no longer an option by the time I got strength points to it.
