Yes, 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.
This is not correct.
Mercy is absolutely 100% correct.

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.
You are correct. And I am not. I was so sure I was I went to check the adjudicator. Test case 6.D.13 is this one.

Yes, unless you have an extra unit there.
Also not correct.

Yes you can. See the most recent move in this game for an example.

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

For future reference: Spring 1916

I knew the answer and did the move just to prove it here.

I hope other players support so.
