ORIGINAL: Jimmer The corps should use its last movement point to enter the territory in question (although, this is sometimes difficult to accomplish). This is just ridiculous, sorry, it just is. You should only forage IF you either 1) hit the button for that corps or 2) at the end of the phase you can't pay for supply to that corps. This just needs to be fixed and SOON... I had to chuckle about this: I just today read an article (in a series) about logical fallacies, and this statement (bolded) is a perfect example of the fallacy of the "question-begging epithet". Life's little coincidences are indeed truly amazing at times. (The fallacy caught my attention because I do it all the time -- I really have to correct that in myself.) It's hardly a high priority, though. While you are correct that it should be fixed (or, worked around, perhaps per my suggested change), I posted a thread way back at 1.01 about it, and few have complained loudly since. Marshall, if you implement a "check-box" kind of feature as the fix for this, it would be REALLY nice if a player could select an ARMY in an area, in addition to just a corps. Something like right-clicking the area targetted by your attack and being able to check all of the sub-boxes with just one more click. However, if you DO implement this, make sure the box gets unchecked at the end of your land movement phase (possibly while checking the value, in fact). It would be potentially VERY damaging to a player's finances if these values were held over from turn to turn. By the way, for the lurkers: If you move a corps into a field combat which potentially has a siege combat coming after the field battle, and you have a corps you really DO want to forage (but not use movement points), the only way to do it is to select the corps and use the "Forage" button. Be careful: It's right next to the "Auto-forage All" button. Anyhow, when you do a standard forage, it always asks you whether you want to use unused movement. You MUST say no, or else you will not be allowed to besiege the city with that corps or any other part of that army (until the next month). This last would not be very common. Realistically, only France or Turkey is likely to ever use it. But, still, it DOES happen.
