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.

Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 19:11:30 -0000Hi,
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,
