Slightly Strange Rule Question

Hi there all! Not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes:

Two units can't swap places, but can a fleet on a North/South coast move to an adjacent state, while an army moves from that state to the fleet's original position?

Breath.

Case in point: Is "F Bul(sc)-Con" and "A Con-Bul" valid/will the units be able to move?

Thanks.

No, they would still bounce each other.

This is known as the "coastal crawl" and most versions of the boardgame rules specifically mention it, to clarify that it is not allowed.

For adjudication purposes the territory is just "Bulgaria". Bul(Nc) and Bul(Sc) don't function as separate territories for this purpose. (Otherwise you'd also be able to occupy Bul and St.P with two fleets at once, one at each coast, which of course you also cannot do).

Just be aware that two units can switch places if one or both are convoyed.

True. So, for example, with a fleet in Aegean Sea, you can convoy A Con - Bul while also moving F Bul(sc) to Con, for example.
