Not necessarily. You don't know what the rest of the rules say, especially if they state specifically that a convoy would be an exception to the quoted rule.

The original board game rules, german version page 8 says (translated):
A move order, which is directed into a territory from which the moving unit is successfully attacked, is changed into a hold order.

Is that a correct translation? That the order is 'changed into a hold order'?

If it is correct, then the German rules are just ... wrong.

Indeed. That version of the rules cancels a bypass move by a convoy...

You didn't order to Black Sea, so I'm not sure it's really accurate to say that you 'lost' in the Black Sea.

To me its counterintuitive that what would normally be a bounce in Province A becomes a loss for me there because of a win in Province B.

Not sure why this is counterintuitive. You moved out of the Black Sea. When you order your unit to leave a space and it succeeds, the unit doesn't defend the space it left. Any unit is free to follow behind it. The fleet moving from Sev is different because--intuitively--it "ran into" the attacking fleet, and got "pushed back" and thus could not bounce the other fleet.

Thank you for those references. It seems counterintuitive that I (as attacking Turkey) am penalized but losing Black Sea, only because I was successful in taking Sev.

You did not list all units involved, nor the game it happened in, which makes it hard to name a precise rule reference. But if Fleet Sevastopol was dislodged from a turkish fleet in the black sea then it seems right to me on the first look.

Page 11, top of right column:

"A dislodged unit, even with support, has no effect on the province that dislodged it. "

How does this happen?

Russia:
Diplomacy
The army at Warsaw hold. (dislodged)
The fleet at Sevastopol move to Black Sea. (fail) (dislodged)
The fleet at Rumania move to Black Sea.
The fleet at Gulf of Bothnia move to Baltic Sea.
The army at Budapest move to Rumania. (fail)

How does the Rumania fleet succeed in taking Black Sea, if the Sevastopol fleet was also moving there. Neither was supported. The only difference is that the Sev fleet was dislodged by a Turkish attack from Black Sea, but since all moves are simultaneous, that should not have made a difference.

Can someone point me to the rule governing this?
