France will get Spain.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure France gets it. I bounced off Sweden from Denmark in the same situation and got Denmark.

Aye, that's one of my favorite (overused) tactics >.>

Beware when trying the classic Burgundy/Spain bounce over Marseilles of Italy ordering A Spain to Marseilles.

I think the classic response to France ordering Burgundy and Spain to Marseilles in Fall of 1901 is for the Italians in Piedmont to
order
A Piedmont Supports Army Spain to Marseilles,
this sucks the French out of Spain instead of into a self bounce.

Hmm, I though that one army against another one of the same nation would always result in a bounce, regardless of supports from other units of the same or other nations.

If that isn't the case how would these other senarios resolve?
- 2 French armies moving to an empty territory, 1 of them with support from another French army?
- 1 Italian army supports a French army into an empty territory while another Italian army moves into the same territory unsupported?

i'm fairly sure
a) two against one the french armies would advance.
or
b) the italian support would hel pthe french into the territory.

you can't cut your own support, so Italy ordering piedmont to support Gulf of lyon into marsielles while also ordering tuscany to piedmont with support from venice, would not cut the piedmont support.

(you only want to do this to stop tyrolia supporting marsielles to piedmont, as mars hitting piedmont doesn't cut the support, but mars with support bounces against tuscany with support, and mars s dislodged. or course you'd normally be better off cutting tyrolia's support, but perhaps you need venice to hold so adr can support it, and not lose to tryolia supporting trieste into venice...) blah this seems rather over convoluted, but i can see it's like happening.

oh, and no, as itlay you get an ally to lie to france, get (say) austria to tell france that piedmont is going to hold and thus france doesn't order spain to mars.

Actually giving italy a chance of taking marsielles.
(assuming france doesn't have an army in bur)

thanks orthaic, can anyone else affirm the outcomes of these senarios?

The rule is, as I know it, that you cannot dislodge yourself. If the territory is empty or held by another player, the strongest attack wins.

Well MajorTom, I'm not entirely sure about orathaic's point on not being able to cut your own support...

But I do know that if A-Bur-Mar, A-Spa-Mar, and A-Pie S A-Spa-Mar, would definitely result in Spain overpowering Burgundy and taking Marseilles, thus forfeiting Spain.

You cannot dislodge your own units with your own units. However, I'm fairly sure you can support an attack that dislodges one of your own units.

EdiBirsan: you forgot to mention something: that also means France can't build in Marseilles to attack Italy.
