Army Specific Reinforcements

My next stumbling block is army specific reinforcements.

I have, for example, in my reinforcement pool a corps that is assigned to the 1st Army (French in Sept 1914). Due to combat/movement/retreats etc there is only one unit for the 1st Army. That unit already has the max in reserve and has the stacking limit in its hex.

So I can't assign the reinforcement to the 1st Army stack (I gather due to stacking limits) and I can't put the unit as a separate stack in an adjacent hex (I get a message about that not being the right place or a place with the right unit).

a) Is there a way to deploy the reinforcment if the 1st Army is already at its stacking limit

b) If I don't deploy that corps this turn will it still be in the reinforcement pool next turn (when hopefully I will have made room for it in the stack/region somehow)

c) if these dedicated reinforcements are going to be limited in this way we need an announcement (the turn before) "1st Army reinforcements: 1 Corps next turn" so we can make room for them in some way.

The message about the stacking limit when you try to put it in an empty stack is probably the bit about them having to start out in a major city.
 
Also, in my latest game with 1.06d patch, I notice that corps that have the obligatory army assignment notation can nonetheless be assigned to other armies. For example I've got a corps or two that have XV written on them which are presently attached to I think V Army.
 
The thing I found really annoying in the earlier version was that independent corps could not end turn with armies, but that seems to have been alleviated in 1.06d. Seems to be working a lot better all the way round really.

Oh yeah! So many stacking rules, so few remaining brain cells <G>
