Quick Support Question
I have an army in Livonia that wants to move to St. Pete. I have fleets in Norway and GoB. Obviously, the fleets can only move to North Coast or South Coast respectively, but can they both support the army in at the same time?

my worst fear
I play mostly in 5 min phase game and sometimes because my daughter is crying in her crib i have to drop.
Anyhow this is not the point I want to start a debate what you fear most playing against experienced players or against newbies ?
I fear more against newbies because they can do stupid things unpredictable that can cost them but also to the balance of the game :P

Question about a situation (mechanics)
Hello, I'm newbe and have a question about common situation :) . Let's suppose that I have one province with support center and enemy is near. Can I move army from that province to neutral province with supply center and build (from that new supply center) unit in the first province just before enemy will take it? (other words - if I will take supply center and hold there, will I be able to build unit before next turn?)
Leonidas (635 D)
06 Jan 12 UTC
I found your question abit confusing but I can tell you this, that you can only build in your original 3 (or 4 if your russian) Supply Centers or SCs
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
06 Jan 12 UTC
The answer is no, Luken. The enemy takes control of your province before the build phase begins, so your net gain is 0 SC's.

Even if that wasn't the case, you couldn't build in a province that houses an enemy unit, because no more than 1 unit can occupy a space.
Luken (100 D)
06 Jan 12 UTC
Hmm, ok so one more question and everything will be clear for me :) . To take a SC I need to "hold" unit on it one turn? example: I moved unit to neutral SC, but next turn (instantly) I need to "bounce" enemy unit from adjacent province. Will i take that province from witch I'm bouncing or no (need to hold)?
2ndWhiteLine (2736 D(B))

If both your unit and the enemy's unit move to a territory without support, you will both bounce. In this case, your unit bounces and returns to the territory it formerly occupied; namely, the unowned supply center. It becomes yours after the fall turn.

Thank you very much ^^ .
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

Luken, i'm not sure if this answers your question... but it works like this..

1 Moves/spring
2 retreats/spring
3 moves/fall
4 retreats/fall
5 capture SC's/build/disband

repeat....

you can only capture SCs at the end of the fall phase, so you MIGHT need to hold it an extra turn, if you originally moved there in the spring. If you moved there in the fall, you capture immediately. Regardless of who bounces who, you only capture SCs if you finish the autumn phase with a unit on the SC.

Your unit could have started the turn there, it could have attempted to move somewhere else and failed, it could have moved to that province that turn, or it could have retreated to that province after being dislodged, but at the end of the fall retreats phase, if you have a unit there, you capture the neutral SC.

Welcome to the game man, and don't be afraid to ask, lots of knowledgeable people here glad to help and I still need clarification sometimes.
Luken (100 D)
06 Jan 12 UTC
Thank you, I didn't realize that build phase is only once per two turns :) .
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
06 Jan 12 UTC
yeah I fell for that my first game too. I was irritated. Then I got mad when I couldn't build next year on the territory I DID capture.

Luken, a couple things in case you are still confused:

You take a supply center if you have a unit in it after the fall retreat phase. It doesn't matter if you take it in the spring and "hold" the unit there or whether you use that unit to bounce another space. If you take it in the autumn, you will capture the center "immediately", after the retreat phase, and don't need to hold it for a turn. If you take a supply center territory in the spring, and then move the unit elsewhere in the autumn (without another piece moving in to replace it), you will not gain control over the center. It's also important to note that you can gain (or LOSE, which I'm sure you will experience at some point) a center after the fall phase by the use of retreats. It's important to take possible retreats into consideration when you take over a territory.

I'll repeat my lead sentence because it summarizes it perfectly: you take a supply center if you have a unit in it after the fall retreat phase.
