Convoy Dislodgement
Quick question on a weird situation:
LakersFan (899 D)
30 Nov 11 UTC
Is it possible to convoy another player's army to a province that you already have a unit in, and have your unit dislodge if the attack is supported by someone else?

I.e. if France enters the orders to move from Belgium to London, and England convoys the army. If France has a unit that supports Belgium to London, does it succeed? I.E. does it skirt the ban on self-dislodgement of units?

I have absolutely no idea, but I would presume that since the units attacking and offering support are French, England's army in London would indeed be dislodged. however, I can't see why England would agree to that maneuver.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

To my understanding it doesn't matter the nationality of the convoying unit. As long as the convoy isn't dislodged it can convoy any attack.

That would be an interesting one to plug into one of the order resolution packages...

Yes, you can convoy an enemy unit into dislodging your own unit.

The specific examle you described is actually the exact one used in the test case

But can anyone explain to me why anyone would agree to do this?
Draugnar (0 DX)

Easy, a trade of SCs... The retreating unit (say it was Edi not Lon) could retreat to Lvp. Maybe Lvp is owned by France. Or maybe it's France and Germany on England's SCs and it's spring and they want to get two of England's SCs but England could try to move in if Edi moved out of it's own accord and cause a bounce. By dislodging Edi if they are successful, they guarantee the loss of both Edi and Lvp, but if England manages to bounce it, they still keep Edi which at that juncture is more strategically important to them.

Ah. That makes a bit of sense.

Also to destroy a fleet so the unit can be rebuilt as an army or vice versa. In that case, do it in the fall but not in a supply center.

Non-full Games?
I have a group of friends, and occasionally we like to get a live game going. Sometimes, however, we are unable to gather enough people for a full game, even for the Ancient Mediterranean variant. Some sites allow for a rule change if there are less than seven players (6 players = no Italy; 4 players = 1 person plays as 1 power, the other three play as a pair; etc.). Is there any way to do that on this site, or are we stuck with trying to scrounge up players to fill the game?

How do you spot people who are playing 2 nations in an Anon Gunboat game?
I'm in a game where there are three nations left and two of them seem to be cooperating as well as avoiding any agressive moves, even when they would be good moves to make.

Can we get something done about this game?
I am not sure but it seem like it has been at least 6 months that this game has been paused. Egypt put in an un-pause shortly after the pause and has never checked back. Cath is winning and he put in an un-pause, I'm sure to hope to get the win. Either way, can we do something about this game. I am so tired of seeing it at the top of my home page. Cancel it, un-pause it, or draw it something Please. http://95.211.128.12/webdiplomacy/board.php?gameID=56608#gamePanel
