i don't know, you seem to be correct. Maybe there are sometimes slight variation on the rules and this site has chosen to differ slightly from the official rules... but good spot.

I think it is cut because the convoy 'succeeded' in the sense that the convoying fleets were not dislodged. The real failed move was the army itself, but it bounced while still cutting the support... thats the way I see it. If you hadn't held with both the Adriatic Sea and Albania, The fleet in the Ionian would have been dislodged and the support would not have been cut.

The way the system detects whether orders were successful is a bit shoddy, and is done after everything has already been resolved. When working things out inside the adjudicator the idea of a successful/failed support isn't very useful, things aren't really done like that, so instead everything gets worked out and then it decides whether an order was a success or failure. I think in the case of supports it might determine whether it was successful based on whether the move being supported was successful (can't remember exactly)

So don't worry about whether orders are crossed or not, if everything turned out right it's pretty certain that the support was acted on correctly. (So I'd say "small error" in a nutshell)

Timmi88: The rules specifically say that the support is not cut in order to avoid a paradox. Namely, if I had had only one of Adr and Alb supporting, whether the convoy could cut the support from Naples or failed before it could cut the support. In other words, yes, the convoy succeeded, but it could not cut this particular support because of the above rule.

kestasjk: That's what I thought, a small error; or at least I hoped so. It's good to know. I know there are the Diplomacy adjudicator test cases, but this just looked fishy. Thanks.

It was adjudicated correctly.

Had there only been one support hold, there would have been a paradox, one that I believe would have resulted in the dislodging of Turkey's fleet. But since the move never could have succeeded, with the two support holds, the convoy succeeded, and the convoy therefore cut support.

Seriously, read the thread before you post! Of course it was adjudicated properly. And your interpetation of the rules is incorrect. The rule I quoted overrules other rules. Do you need me to elaborate?

Heh... Yeah. I read the first few words of the rule that you posted, and thought it was a different rule. Don't I look like an idiot. My bad.
