Confusing Map
http://www.webdiplomacy.net/map.php?gameID=80191&turn=6&mapType=large

Look at Belgium, Ruhr and Burgundy. As far as I can make out, Belgium cut the support on itself (which is not allowed [http://web.inter.nl.net/users/L.B.Kruijswijk/#6.D.15]). Ruhr has a failed support line, and the only alternative I can think of would be that Ruhr support moved to the wrong country, but I am not sure how that would show on the map...

Rules Question
Unit A is supporting hold to unit B
Unit B is supporting hold to unit C

If an enemy unit with a force of 2 attacks unit B, but unit B is not dislodged, does unit C get a support hold?
Leonidas (635 D)
16 Feb 12 UTC
No, a unit, when attacked must defend itself first, so it's order to support unit C is cut, the only exception to this (as far as I know) is when A fleet is convoying, the convoy or is not cut, unless the convoying fleet is dislodged.
Leonidas (635 D)
16 Feb 12 UTC
Typing woes... 'the convoy ORDER is not cut' not 'the convoy or'
cteno4 (100 D)
16 Feb 12 UTC
Leonidas is correct.

Example in the case of England fighting a French invasion:
A LVP-WAL (English)
A YOR S F LON H (English) -- CUT BY FRENCH ARMY
F LON S A LVP-WAL (English) -- CUT BY FRENCH FLEET
A WAL-YOR (French)
F ENG-LON (French)
F NTH S F ENG-LON (French)
[assumes that no non-French fleet in BEL, HOL, HEL, DEN, SKA, NWY, NWG, or EDI is ordered to enter NTH]

In the above case, the French fleet in the English Channel would enter London and the English fleet would be dislodged without any available retreat options (NTH, YOR, WAL all occupied and not permitted to retreat to province from which attack was ordered). The French army's order to Yorkshire would fail, but it would be sufficient for the French army to cut Yorkshire's support of London.

Had the French army in Wales instead been ordered to support English Channel to London, THAT support would have been cut by the English order of Liverpool to Wales and the order of English Channel to London would have failed (as the Yorkshire army's support would still be valid). In this second case, Army Wales would not have been dislodged because the support at London would have been cut during the fleet's dislodgement.

Another illustrative case in which Russia is nearly dead against an intruding Austria:
England has a fleet in St. Petersburg.
Russia has armies in Moscow and Warsaw.
Austria has armies in Galicia, Ukraine, and Sevastopol. For whatever reason (probably a threat of a cut support from Armenia or Silesia), it's apparent that Austria should not attack out of Ukraine.
Livonia, Prussia, and are vacant.

Orders:
RUSSIA: A MOS S A WAR; A WAR S A MOS
AUSTRIA: A SEV-MOS, A GAL-WAR, A UKR S A GAL-WAR.
In this case, A SEV-MOS would cut Moscow's support for Warsaw and A GAL-WAR/A UKR S A GAL-WAR would succeed, dislodging Warsaw and leaving Russia vulnerable to losing Moscow in the next season.

Russia could reasonably defend himself against a supported attack on either Warsaw or Moscow by simply ordering:
A WAR-UKR, A MOS-UKR. The result is a self-standoff circumstance in which Austrian support is nullified regardless of which unit Ukraine is ordered to support.

One last case: Russia is invading Turkey. Units are as follows:
RUSSIAN A CON, A ANK
TURKISH A SMY
All neighboring provinces are vacant.

Russia could order A CON-SMY & A ANK S A CON-SMY. Alternately, Russia could order A ANK-SMY & A CON S A ANK-SMY. Turkey cannot order A SMY-CON or A SMY-ANK and in so doing cut support for the attack.

I hope that clears up all non-convoy-related support questions.
