Thanks, the “beleaguered garrison rule” helped me out several times :)

what rule is that?

If a unit is attacked from two different sides with equal strength, the unit holds. That happened a few times in Austria and earlier also in Switzerland. In this case, the attack came from two enemy powers, but it’s also a useful tactic for your own units.

For example, if you want to move a unit withou it risking of being displaced, you can order the move and at the same time support one of your other units into the region it comes from. You cannot dislodge your own unit (that’s another rule), but also protects against a supported attack from an opponent.

I’ve never done a game without talking, very challenging

yeah it makes it harder to form alliance or force draws to stop one player soloing with co-ordination you could have taken austria but you can't communicate

Without communication is very difficult to stop a player who has taken some advantage (NMR, best starting position,...) I will recommend playing with public chats, so you can pact a draw or comunicate global ideas to all players.
