But most of these cities will not have a large garrison so you do not really need to do more than assign your smallest corps to besiege them for a few months until the garrison starves.ORIGINAL: Titi
We disagree here, for Spain or Turkey you only need to secure cities near your supply line and they are very few. In Prussia if you just look at Berlin, there is only one area out of the 6 adjacents that isn't a city. Make a lot more sieges for being able to trace a supply path above those.
However, it still depend of what you are looking for when entering the country.

If Part of the Prussian army is at Theresienstadt you do not need to move as many corps east, and since Prussia is so small it is almost impossible to cut the supply line in a way which means that the French cannot simply take one step back and reestablish it (and crush those corps) - or simply keep to supply lines to the most vulnerable corps.If part of the Prussian army is staying at Theresanstad in the Austrian moutains, you will need to be very cautious when invading.
Pursuing the prussian army to East Prussia is a very long campaign.
With support from other nations any MP can be a nightmare.Prussia when well defended and with support of other nations can be a nighmare and the manpower saving is just a part of it. Probably as bas as Spain. Infantry in guarisson on the map can't be the same threat IMHO.
A threat off map is far worse that one on map.
But cities can be besieged and occupied, and then ignored, this cannot be done with gurillaes.
