This is probably noob question but I was away from EU for years
In my Venice demo game I was allied with Swiss, when Ottomans declared war on me Swiss detached 10k army with my army in Brescia. As soon as I tried to move stack to Dalmatia (sieged by Ottomans) Swiss troops returned home... Is there a way to control or at least have some influence on your allies armies in the war? This should be possible as it is logical for allies to plan&act together
