England moved Spain to Marseilles. I supported him in from Burgundy.

This is not correct.Mercy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 7:10 pmYes, you can, but you cannot help to dislodge your own units. For example, suppose you have a fleet in the North Sea and you support a fleet to North Sea from Edinburgh with a fleet in London. If your fleet in the North Sea fails to move out of it, it will not be dislodged and the attack from Edinburgh will fail. However, if an enemy tries to move to North Sea from Holland with support of Belgium, he won't succeed either, because the attack strength from Holland equals that of Edinburgh.

You are correct. And I am not. I was so sure I was I went to check the adjudicator.

You posted a counterexample where Spain attacks MAR in spring 1916, and you supported it with BUR. What you missed is that same army was supported by GoL. Your support was input, but did not affect the displacement of your own unit.
