Regarding the rule under discussion, we play it as such for depot garrisons.
Not sure about corps.
I found the below rules :
7.3.2.1: A corps must cease movement when it consumes its movementallowance or
when it enters an area containing an unbesieged enemy corps(not if the area
contains only cossacks, freikorps, guerrillas and/orgarrisons).
7.3.6.2 GARRISONED DEPOT AREA: If an enemy depot is garrisoned, theplayer
controlling the garrison factors has the option of immediatelydestroying the
depot before the moving force chooses whether to leave thearea (if permissible)
or to stay and ght. If the garrison does not elect todestroy the depot and the
phasing force chooses to stop its movement andght, the depot may be captured
after land combat (see 7.3.6.1) anddestroyed or converted (but not used for
supply this major power'ssequence-also see 7.5.2.14). If the garrison destroys
the depot, the garrisonsurrenders or all or part (if city cannot hold all-the
part not moved to thecity will surrender) can be moved to an unbesieged
friendly controlled orvacant city in that same area, at the owning player's
option.
So it seems you only get he option to continue moving when facing a depot
garrison. I think this how we have been playing by now.

I don't have the rules in front of me but this is how we have been playing it
yes. I suggest we do not change it mid move even if you are correct. I would
also suggest that you change the part of your naval move that was jeopardised
due to playing differently.
'Re Turkey, I had hoped he would have posted so that you have an overall view
of things, but something is probably holding him up, so I would suggest we
continue with the Western front were Turkish actions are not very relevant.

During discussions with my allies it turned out that the group has played
before in one why I find unusual and it certainly compromises part of my naval
move.
I am told the corps can continue movement after initial battle is declared but
defender retreats into city.
I would like to note the rules here:
7.5.1 GENERAL RULES OF LAND COMBAT: If at the end of all movement of the
phasing major power, enemy forces (excluding guerillas-see 10.1.1.3) occupy the
same area as its corps, freikorps or cossacks, the phasing major power must
attack in those areas (also see 7.3.7 and 7.3.8).
7.5.1.1 DEFENDER RETIREMENT INTO CITY: Any forces or portion of forces upon
whom an attack is declared may immediately retire into any friendly controlled
or vacant, and unbesieged city in that area but not so as to exceed that city's
garrison capacity.
7.5.1 is clear, you complete your movement and anywhere you enter enemy area
and say Attack!
7.5.1.1. says after you said Attack! defender can retreat into city .
So the sequence should be like this
Movement -> Attack -> Retreat into city
I do not see where is says after retreating into city you go back to step 1.
On a side note, are we waiting for Turkish turn or we proceed with French
battles?
