Disappearing armies?

My experience has been that it is food in the baggage train that is the critical element. When a nation is eliminated all of its' armies without food disband next turn. If, however, you have a case of a 100 man army with one food at a friendly town the army will last indefinately. That is until the pop center is influenced out from under it, or the commanders and subcommanders are eliminated.

  Also, just so you n\know, even if a nation does go BK, an army will NOT dissappear while in a fortified PC of its nation... eventually qhen that PC dissapear ( yes, even fortified downgrade when BK ) then it begins to disband

  The army will disappear if they go bankrupt, but not right away if they just
  drop or are knocked out.

  Hi,

  In two different games in the last two weeks I've seen two enemy
  armies show up in the same hex. My team gives the order to attack,
  but the enemy army is no longer there. The only order that should
  make an army disappear between last turn and the attack is a
  personal challenge. However in both cases this is extremely
  unlikely. I thought armies hung around for awhile after a nation
  dropped or went BK. OR is that not the case? Will armies disappear
  the turn after a nation goes BK if they're not on their own pop
  center?

  Thanks,
  -Chesley
