Is it wrong to CD in protest?
When a game should be cancelled in all manners of courtesy, are you justified in a CD? Lets imagine there are multiple CDs or a major power like Russia, Austria, France, or Germany CDs and the game refuses to cancel is it wrong to not waste your time and simply CD as well?

Newbie Question
How do you move/attack territories with fleets. Have England in my first game ever and don't know how to do anything. Also looks like I can't attack neutral territories (Ireland, etc), is this correct?

not refreshing in sync with timer
So even though timer is ticking down saying for instance there is 3 min left for move, turns out when I refresh, I have missed my move and now only 2 min to make next move....this is happening to the point of not being able to play. is this normal or do I need to change my settings or?

How to support attack across sea
Let's say that a fleet in N Sea convoys a troop from Lon to Hol. If a fleet in Bel wants to support that move, does the order say from Lon or from N Sea? I am thinking Lon.

Protestor Beaten on Live TV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z20Jgzz464

I guess peacefully protesting after curfew is reason to be swarmed by four guys in riot gear, hit with an assault shield, and mysteriously disappears in seconds - did they forget to read his rights? Oops. Guess he'll get off on a technicality. Unless he randomly dies in police custody.

So after some time of having the feature what does everyone think? Personally I think games fill faster but it seems that more games have NMR than before. I think this is an unfortunate side effect of the upgrade.

Fleet travel through enemy waters
Can a fleet move from Belgium to Holland if another country's fleet occupies the North Sea? The fleet obviously cannot travel by land between the two areas and therefore must leave the harbors in Belgium (entering the North Sea waters) follow the coastline, and enter the Holland harbors (leave the N Sea waters).

Single defense against double assault?
What happens when a defender moves against a support unit attacking his own position? Troop A: land A -> land C; Troop B: land B -> land A; Troop C: land C support land B -> land A (can attack land A); Troop D: land D support hold land A.

Does Troop C support move hold against Troop A?
Does Troop D's support hold apply to a unit (Troop A) with move orders?

Direct clash or pass straight through on opposing moves?
What happens when movement orders occur against each other? Troop A moves from land A to land B and Troop B from land B moves to land A. To make this interesting if they bounce, let's say that Troop C from land C can attack land A and supports the move to land A from land B. All three troops are from different nations.

You seem very new to the game. May I recommend you first read this to see if it answers most of your questions.

Without the support from C, they would bounce (nothing move).

With the support from C, the move from B to A succeeds and the unit in A is dislodged.

These are very basic scenarios covered in the rulebook, which I would that you thoroughly read.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

In the first example they bounce. If support is not somehow cut from C, then B will take territory A.

Others are telling me that B and A would merely switch places, which is why I ask to verify the answer. It sounds like A -> B fails because the game considers that B is still in its territory even though it is moving. So what if another unit support moves A to B? B does not have a support hold and it is not holding, so do they swap places or bounce?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Two untis cannot swap places. The closest you can do to a swap is to move around in a circle with 3 territories.

Did the people telling you A and B will switch places also ask for your Chase Bank Account info yet?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

If both have support to the same territory they again bounce.
jbalcorn (429 D)

Rulebook is clear - the only way for two units to swap places is to have one army move via land and the other army move via convoy. RTFM
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
29 Apr 15 UTC
Only way A and B can swap places is if there is an adjacent fleet that convoys one of the units. Let's say Italy has a Fleet in Gulf of Lyons and an Army in Marseilles and France has an Army in Spain. If France does A Spa -> Mar and Italy does A Mar -> Spa by convoy and F GoL convoys A Mar -> Spa then Spa and Mar will swap places.

Its possible that was the intention; to kidnap an army. I think this is technically allowed but webDip doesn't support it.

Thank you, abg. Yale, not yet :) Follow-on: Does a support move help in a retreat against an occupied territory?
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
29 Apr 15 UTC
Seriously, read the rules, this is a hard game to play if you don't understand basics of movement, support, dislodging, and retreating. The DATC also has lots of useful examples.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

You cannot support a retreat
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
29 Apr 15 UTC
Supports have nothing to do with retreats. You can only retreat to a territory that was not attacked by any units. With the exception that a dislodged unit is not considered to have attacked the territory dislodging it. So let's say Germany does Mun->Bur and Ruhr supports Mun->Bur and France does Bur->Mun. Bur is dislodged by the attacking unit from Mun. Bur can not retreat to Mun, but any other unit adjacent to Mun could retreat to Mun if dislodged (for example if an Army in Kiel were dislodged on this same turn it could retreat to Mun since Mun is not considered to have been attacked by Bur).
