Splitting Seige Armies?

[InnocentIII]

I read the FAQ that has fast load times, and the manual (twice). I did not see anything about how to split my army while it is in the process of beseiging an enemy province. I know I can hit the seige or cover button, but what if I want to combine an arriving force? or see the morale of one of several forces or simply send my cavalry on their way and leave infantry and cannon?
Is there a way to get to a standard Regroup screen in an enemy province?

The short answer is... no.

You can split armies with the siege/cover buttons, but you cannot influence the makeup of the armies.

I wanted to be able to remove expensive cavalry, to avoid attrition to them.
What I ended up doing was creating a second army with all my cavalry, and 10 artillery to match the timing of the main body. I need the cavalry to chase out defenders but not for the seige. Later I can move them back if needed.

It's a workaround although a reorganize option would be nice during the seige.

That one has been on the wanted lists for ages. Hopefull Paradox will get around to adding it someday (if it's possible without too much work)
