I did not phrase this as a question because several forced march attempts to depots had the same result, i.e. loss from foraging.

VERY annoying.

Not quite as annoying as Au surrendering FINALLY and the repatriation put me out of supply so 5 cav, 3 arty and 10 guard went up in as very fancy dressed INFANTRY.

Oh man...I'm crabby and tired. Way past my bed time.

Status: offline 		Even force marching in your own territory?

Well, I certainly can live with it.  It was a rude discovery however just as I was marching to the border of my territory to engage Charles and a big stack.  THEN he beat Nappy in the first fight when we both outflanked and Au rolled much better, and THEN after finally getting the surrender, I was repatriated out of supply as a big buy of expensive reinforcements were arriving. 

Perhaps force marching corps can be supplied if the corp stays within its own territory for the entire move? (I typed sheepishly)

Forced March has more to do with your troops being injured, AWOL and becoming sick as it does about being fed. Although being in your own area does help the forage roll. Don't force march in winter. Don't force march in poor foraging areas. I rarely force march. Only in dire circumstances where the loss of 5 - 7 infantry isn't going to be a battle breaker.
