I agree with echidna's analysis. Everyone would bounce in this scenario because Powers 1 and 3 bounce in square X and Power 2 does not cut support on an attacking unit.

I would echo the Richard Sharpe recommendation. It was what I read when I started and is very helpful to get a grip with the starts and build out from there, especially as it is a whole publication which looks at each country in the same way. Jays point that nothing is absolute is spot on. I agree....
