Provincial armies ordered to invade must fit inside an imperial army.
While the rules do say that superior generals can fit some extra troops
into an army, in three games (as Turan, Aquilonia, Kusan) I have not
seen this occur.  Probably requires a general who has superior rating
and on top of which is considered to have extraordinary talent at
military command.

Another point to note is that the imperial army must already have 8+
troops for it to participate in an invasion, additions from provincial
armies do not fulfill that criteria.
