Valid:Writing a support order
1. Write your unit type (A or F).
2. Then write the province where your unit is located. 3. Then, write an “S” (for Support).
4.Finally, write the type, current location, and
destination of the unit receiving support (if the supported unit is moving).
Example: “A Par S A Mar–Bur” orders an Army in Paris to support an Army in Marseilles moving into Burgundy.
The error comes from this line: "as if unit A was holding based on the fact that a unit attacked must defend instead of move." There is no "as if." Your units receive orders based on what you order... not based on what ends up happening.fourofswords wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 6:15 pmthanks for the 2 answers so far. they seem contradictory. let me clarify the situation: My Unit A is moving. My unit B is ordered to support that unit. I did not designate that Unit B is supporting a Hold. Unit B is definitely not ordered to support Unit A's move/attack. Unit B is merely ordered to support unit A. I thought that if unit A is attacked, unit B supports it as if unit A was holding based on the fact that a unit attacked must defend instead of move. Now if it possible, lol, can anyone clarify?
Not only that, but the support order must "match" the movement order. Support cannot be given for movement in general.dargorygel wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 6:55 pmThe error comes from this line: "as if unit A was holding based on the fact that a unit attacked must defend instead of move."

Unit A was ordered to move. The ONLY support Unit A can receive is to move. Ordering another unit to support A IN CASE he doesn't end up moving does not have any effect.
Turkey takes Trieste and dislodges the army there (forcing a retreat). Austria takes empty Budapest with power 1.dyager_nh wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 10:26 pmAnother interwsting dynamic that always gets me to stop and think is the following:
Austria has armies in Vienna and Trieste. Turkey in Budapest and Serbia.
Vienna moves to Budapest with Trieste support
Budapest moves to Trieste with Serbia support
What happens?
Trieste support is cut. Budapest support is cut. All armies remain in place.Scenerio 2:
Vienna moves to Budapest with Trieste support
Serbia moves to Trieste with Budapest support
What happens?
