[B]I agree with Road's. Actually, the rules expressly prohibit such a move but "logic" suggests perhaps it should be allowed. However, due to the "gamey" nature of the reason for doing that, then I think the letter of the rules should be obeyed:
[B]7.3.3 MOVING INTO CITIES--DETACHING/ABSORBING FACTORS--GARRISONS:[/B] During a major power's Land Movement Step, any non-artillery, non-feudal or non-insurrection corps may detach factors as garrisons at, or absorb army factors from, depots and/or [B]unbesieged[/B] (emphasis added) friendly or vacant cities by reducing or increasing its strength, if the capacity is there.
The requirement that the city be "unbesieged" in order for a corps to detach/absorb would seem to be due to the inability to make the "move" through the besieging force. However, the rules don't carve out any exception for corps already insided a besieged city. Since the only reason for doing what is suggested is to avoid a political loss due to the absence of a corps (assuming no fortress), the "unbesieged" requirement for detachment should be strictly enforced, IMO. :) [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=blue]you can't apply a rule for movement to a post-combat removal of a corps. the fact that you can not empty your corps into a garrison and remove it in your movement phase has *no* bearing on what you do with your combat losses. If you choose to take the losses out of your corps (and you are specifically allowed to take losses from wherever you desire), and your corps is emptied by the losses, then that corps disappears.[/COLOR]
