Of all things stupid Windows 10 decided to upgrade tonight and completely
trashed my laptop, it is now stuck in boot loop.
On top of that I find out that my 32GB usb flash with original Windows
backup is empty.
Agrhhh....
I can not see the map but here is my take.
Turkey has to move out of the battle between Prussia and France, it is
clear.
Turkey moves in Insurrection province and triggers corps placement, that is
also clear.
Now, if Austria has played and Turkey has played it looks like there is no
phasing player and we will have a situation where there is no battle. This
can not happen, two countries at war in the same area trigger a battle.
I would say Turkey is the attacker as Turkey is moving her troops, it is
not withdrawal, movement is not forced in direction but Turkey has a choice
where to move them. The rules say the troops have to move out, so they are
free to move in any direction they wish. If the move into Insurrection
province, it is their wish to face the chance to trigger Insurrection
corps. If he is moving, he is attacking.

Tiron, assume the current situation where Austria has already played its
moves (not combined) and the map is as we see it now.

Like I said, give the the specific example and I will run it thorough the
rules.

We can do the following
1. If there is a phasing player at a time when a battle is initiated, then
the phasing player is the attacker, as in our current situation.
2. In another scenario where there are no phasing players involved in the
battle at the time a move is implemented, then the next player to play, of
those involved in the battle, initiates the attack as the first phasing
player.

I do not see how it is possible for Prussia to force Turkey to move in
your case.
Turkey is not at war with Prussia.
Turkey has a corps at Vienna.
Prussia also moves to Vienna.
Not battle, no nothing, they occupy the same area and everyone goes about
their business.

Ok but Yannis asks to also consider the scenario where there is no
combined and both turkey and Austria have already played their turn. Who is
the phasing power then?

The rules look clear to me.
* 7.5.1 GENERAL RULES OF LAND COMBAT:* The phasing side is the
"attacker" and the non-phasing side is the "defender".
The phasing player is always the attacker.
In this case Austria would be the attacker. It is combined
Austrian/British/Prussian turn and we are the phasing player. If Prussia or
Britain force Turkey to move into insurrection province and Austria places
the insurrection corps then Austria is the attacker.
In regular circumstances let's say Turkey is playing and it moves a corps
from Belgrade to Eszek, Austria places both Ins. corps. Turkey ahs to stop
and Turkey is the attacker as it is Turkey who is phasing player.

I don't see what is the problem, the rule is clear about "moving to any
adjacent area".
It can not be a withdrawal, you withdraw from battle.
This is not a battle situation.
Moving can trigger Insurrection corps placement and everything goes on
just like if the Turkey moved from Belgrade to Peterwardein, stopping
movement and battle and all.

Are we talking about this:
*7.3.8.4 STEP FOUR:* All major powers not at war with the attacker
(except the attacker and his allies at war with the defender and factors in
cities or on depots) must now leave the area, moving to any adjacent area
that, if possible, is closer or at least as close to their source of supply
as the area they leave.

Is this what we are voting on????????
1. Turks withdraw from battle and move into Insurrection province.
2. The withdrawal ends right there.
3. After withdrawal, since the corps entered province, Insurrection corps
placement is triggered.
4. Battle happens.
I can live with this interpretation.

Austrian border province.*
I replied to that as well: Whenever is the next battle phase for one of
the two of you. If the game ends that turn, then never! But I am not
interested to make a rule for one in a million situation that (i believe)
is unexplored ground and not intended. Also your persistence to try to
explain this one-off case for every case imagined, in addition to your
denial for every suggestion offered (like naval move interpretation, move
and not retreat etc, not even offered by me as explanations, but I accepted
them) is clearly blocking the whole effort to move on with additional "what
ifs" so that the discussion continues forever. Until what, we grow bored
and accept that your original explanation is the only possible one?
Anyway, i see no point in recycling the same arguments,
To that, we are in agreement.
*let's all cast a vote if this a move/ withdrawal and if it is a move who
is the attacker and who is the defender in order to allow me to decide how
to play my turn. *
So you propose that we scrap the second voting (because you don't accept
that the phasing player will be the initiator of the battle emerging) and
make a new one with different questions, to see if it bears another result.
Alright, lets vote again. Don't want to be the one to block a voting, for
whatever reason.
*Everyone, please vote so that we move on*. It is the last time we vote
on this subject (at least for me). You can express your arguments, although
you don't have to, we heard enough of both sides at this point.
We take for granted the first voting (insurrections can spawn during any
phase) and replace the result of the second voting with the following 2
questions:
*Makis * *Yannis* *Dimitris (P) * *Dimitris (R)* *Laertis * *Tiron*
*Theodore*
*Is Turkey "moving out" or "withdrawing" when Prussian non-hostile troops
enter the area?* moving out withdrawing
*Who is the attacker when the battle is initiated* phasing player moving
player
