19 Feb 22 UTC	Thanks all for this good game, too bad Greece did not play it completely until the end...
19 Feb 22 UTC	Quick question : why, in spring 9, my attack on Sinaï didn't break its support for Egyptian Sea to Alex ? It was 2 vs 2+ Cyrene to Alex
19 Feb 22 UTC	Good game everyone. I enjoyed that. I'm not super familiar with this map and I think that's what makes it so fun. Carthage, I entered hold orders once it was definitely clear you'd won. You were at 17 dots and just needed 1 more. You had everything else in a very defensible position, so we couldn't take another off you. Our blunders gave you access to Tyre, putting you at the winning threshold. I just left it at hold orders b/c there was no way to prevent you from winning and I didn't want to take the time to figure out some rational but meaningless orders. You'd already won. To answer your question, in Spring 1901, you used Alexandria to attack Sinai, but Sinai issued support against Alexandria. GoP supported Sinai to hold so it wasn't dislodged. Because Sinai was participating in the attack against Alexandria, it didn't cut the support of Sinai when Alexandria attacked it. Think of a supported attack as both places attacking the target. If a place other than the target attacks the supporting unit, then it has told come back and "hold" it's territory. However, the supporting unit is it attacked by it's intended target, it's already planning to fight the target so it doesn't have to come back to hold it's ground. If you could cut the support of a unit that was supporting an attack against that same territory, it would be VERY, VERY difficult to actually take anything and the games would go on forever. You'd have a 50-50 chance of being able to disrupt ANY attack.
19 Feb 22 UTC	Good game Egypt. Those retreats are tricky, haha.
19 Feb 22 UTC	Good game all, and well done Carthage. First time playing this variant, was good fun.
19 Feb 22 UTC	Gg. Surprised I held on as long as I did
19 Feb 22 UTC	Ok thanks Greece ! And yes you are right, i was waiting to see what Egypt would do because i knew i'd have a shot with my retreat !
19 Feb 22 UTC	Yeah, I kept trying until the last turn. I issued some support orders in the Spring on the wild chance that the other players anticipated them. It might look like they were just "hold orders" haha, but I promise I didn't give up until the battle was lost. Once the retreat happened, it was over though.
19 Feb 22 UTC	That's what i like, that's the good spirit !
