Rule Question

So here's my question,
If you say, order Ionian to Apulia expecting a bounce, then also have Aegan issue a support hold order to Ionian
Then Rome moves to Apulia, bouncing you out
If there were a support attack on the Ionian, say Tunis supported by Naples, would you hold or would the Ionian be captured?

Followup really quick, if in this instance Ionian had supported Rome to Apulia, would that change the outcome?

A unit which has a move order cannot receive support to hold, regardless of whether they successfully move.

A unit with a hold or support order CAN receive support to hold.

But they will not successfully *give* support if they are attacked.

Thank you! That clears everything up quite well.

UNLESS they are attacked by the unit they are supporting an attack on AND they are not dislodged.
A -> C
B sup A ->C
C -> B
Then C doesn't dislodge B AND B is still able to support the attack.

That last bit is the trickiest but still quite helpful
