Hawks5896 -> loaning corps (4/1/2008 3:43:20 PM)

My question involves the loaning of corps amongst major powers.
Case in point - Britain controls Portugal, and is Allied with Spain and Russia. France is also Allied with Spain and has all his troops in France and Europe - none in Spain. Now the French request and receive the loan of a Spanish Corps from their Ally Spain, which they then use to attack Portgual and wrest control from Britain.
Does anyone besides me see something wrong with this picture? Do we really think that in real life Spain would loan troops to Napoleon so he can capture Portugal which is a country controlled by Britain, who is Spains Ally?
Not only that but Spain isn't at war with nor do they have to declare war on Britain. Should Britain wish to retaliatevs Spain for their perfidy, they must spend the points to declare war.
Also can someone indicate how a power goes about loaning their fleets to an Ally - there is no button of mechanism for this, yet Ralegh in his game tips uses ships loaned to Allies to illustrate his example of loaning units to Allies - How does the ship loaning work.
IMHO, this whole mechanism for loaning corps and then using them against yor enemies cheapens the entire game experience - its a loophole that be exploited by those gamers who want to use the quirky rules of the game to win at any cost.
