Ofcourse not! No other units were involved.

I had that happen to me too. If this were the rule than a single unit defending could hold out indefinately. All he would have to do is to attack either the attacker or the supporter. If he attacked the attacker they couldnt switch places and the attack would fail. If he attacked the supporter than he would cancel support and the attack would fail. This did occur on one occasion. I was attacking Belgium from Holland with support from Picardy. The defending unit attacked me and prevented me from switching places. I dont know what the actual rule is but it needs to be fixed

It is NOT the rule! One can't hold out agianst two no matter what they do! The question is, there any process to correct the error in a game?

I've never heard of this problem before...

The adjudicator normally handles that situation correctly, which is why I asked about other moves. Is possible that other units effected the situation. What game is it?

The game is Diplomacy1, English fleet Skag supported English amry Swe to Den, Germany fleet at Den attack Skag and it said my move failed. Which should not have happen.

Hmm, the only possibility I see is that you accidentally ordered another fleet to Skag and cut your own support. (Either that or you submitted attack orders wrong I suppose) Kestas should look into it.

There was NO error in my orders, I check. No other units effected the situation. Who and how do I get someone to look into it!

do u think that germany did a den->ska movement? The computer could have judged it as disrupting your supporting, but a stalemate and then another stalemate as your unit tried to move to denmark?

Thats what happen.

You didn't support Norway from Ska, you supported it from the North Sea, and Germany attacked the North Sea.

I moved Swe to Den with support from N. Sea and Ska!
N. Sea was hit but that still left 2 on 1. Which CANNOT fail! The moves were RIGHT, the adjucication was WRONG!
Agian I want to find out how to correct it. If can't help then don't comment!!

Diplomacy1, Spring 1904, Diplomacy:
Sun_Tzu:
The fleet at Norway support the fleet holding at North Sea.
The army at Sweden move to Denmark.
The fleet at Skagerrack support the fleet holding at North Sea.
The fleet at North Sea support the army at Sweden move into Denmark.
The fleet at English Channel move to Belgium.

I'm Talking about Autumn 1904 moves!
Bel moves to Hol
N. Sea & Ska support Swe to Den
Swe to Den
Nor to St. Pete

Agian the moves were RIGHT! I check them!! Adjudication was WRONG, for the 3 time!!!! I have been playing this game for many years!

My mistake (These words are much easier to say when you don't use lots of capitol letters and exclamation marks, by the way :-) )

Diplomacy1, Autumn 1904, Diplomacy:
Sun_Tzu:

The army at Sweden move to Denmark.

NO the fleet at Ska supported the Swe to Den!!

If I screwedup I couldn't find it in the post move orders.

Diplomacy1, Autumn 1904, Diplomacy:
Sun_Tzu:
The army at Sweden move to Denmark.
The fleet at Skagerrack support the fleet at North Sea move into Denmark.
The fleet at North Sea support the army at Sweden move into Denmark.

Seems to me that you should have won that one. Looks like your Skagerrack support move to North Sea into Denmark disrupted North Sea because it wasn't actually moving to Denmark but was supporting Sweden's move to Denmark. Sounds like a wrong adjudication but I stress I am not a Diplomacy expert.

Skagerrack supporting the North Sea was pointless. Supporting a fleet giving support does nothing. The German move from Heligoland Bight disrupted the only direct support to Sweden. You would have won if Skagerrack had supported Sweden directly. No errors in the adjudicator here.

Wait, so if A attacks B, with C supporting A.. is A not supported, so its attack continues? If not, good thing I've read this thread :p

*should be, so its attack continues even if it was attacked by a single other army/fleet? ("D" for example)

Ah yes, Alex is spot on. I missed that move in the Germany move list. It was indeed totally right adjudication.

Jarad, if A attacks B with support from C, A will be successful so long as D does not attack C. What Sun_Tzu did was to order A to attack B with support from C. D attacked C. He thought he ordered E to also support, but E supported B's (non-existent) attack. Sun screwed up!!!!!!!!

If those are the orders then ofcourse I didn't make it. Skagerrak was to support Sweden to Denmark.

I looked in the post move remarks and couldn't find the mistake. I have been playing for years and knows the rules well. I'am not above making making mistakes. We need to be able to view the moves so when we make mistakes they can be identified.

You should always be able to view all of your own moves on the gamemaster tab. It's just other player's moves you can't see unless they effect you.

It didn't tell me which unit the Skag was supporting. It just said support was broken, but you can't break support when that unit is supporting an attack on it.

Sun_Tzu, according to your orders you submitted the fleet at Skagerrack was supporting the fleet at North Sea to attack Denmark, however the fleet at SWEDEN was the fleet that actually moved. Therefore, your support at Skaggerack was null and Germany was able to cut your support at the North Sea, thus holding on to Denmark. If it was any mistake I believe it was yours. Maybe when you were making your orders you scrolled down to order the next unit - but forgot to click out of the box first and ended up changing where the support was given. This happens to me plenty of times.

And the support you gave from the North Sea (the valid one) was cut by the fleet at Heligoland Bight, which was not the intended attack position.

if you attack the supporting unit then the support is stopped and the enemy attack is stalemated. Tactic used by the really good players that taught me, in order to beat a two vs. one. yes it is legal.

Wrong.

Then a 2 v 1 could hold out indefinately. Ive tried it and I think (I dont know what the actual diplomacy rules are) that cou should be a ble to support a unit giving support so that an attack on the unit giving support could hold off a 1 on 1 attack

Wrong.

Mahatma, just saying "Wrong" is incredibly unhelpful.

This report probably explains why 1 can't defend against 2 better than I could;
Fri 07 AM Autumn 1904, Diplomacy: Your fleet at Denmark couldn't prevent fleet at Skagerrack from giving a support move, because the support was being given to attack your fleet at Denmark, and you had no support.

In other words, support isn't broken if it's supporting against you.

Sorry, I guess I was playing Crispminis game of being last to post. Anyway, it's all in the rules.
