Question regarding a standoff situation
Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2022 5:52 pm
Good evening,
I came across a question regarding standoffs/ upport cuts. Actually I just want to make sure I got that right.
It is similar to the situation in Avalon Hill's Official Rulebook: Diagram 17.
There a situation between Russia and Germany is depicted.
Russia has three unites involved: a fleet in the Baltic Sea, an army in Prussia and one in Warsaw.
Germany has two unites involved: a fleet in Berlin and an army in Silesia.
Then the orders are:
Russia: F Bal – Pru; A Pru – Sil; A War S Pru – Sil;
Germany: F Ber – Pru; A Sil S Ber – Pru
The result is that the army coming from Prussia dislodges the army in Silesia, while the fleets in the Baltic and Berlin bounce over Prussia. As the support of the dislodged army in Silesia is cut.
Now, assume Germany has another army in Munich and orders. Mun S A Sil.
If I get the rules right, the army in Silesia is then not dislodged, which means it’s support is not cut as it is supporting Ber to Pru the province the attack is coming from. So now the army in Prussia is dislodged and Berlin moves to Prussia while Baltic is bounced back.
Do I get this right?
Kind regards
