scenario:

Turkey:
A Bul hold
A Con s Rum to Bul

Russia:
A Rum to Bul


nothing else affects this area.

is the support void or does the order work?

Clarification of prior point: the support isn't void but the order doesn't work.

However, this has applications - if you have 2 armies adjacent to an occupied territory of yours that you need to use to, say, cut support or seize a center, you can send those 2 at your own territory and have the territory's army move. I'll give an example later if someone else hasn't.

Basically, the support order is only void for the purpose of seeing whether you have dislodged the unit.

This implies two things:
1. If the enemy sends two units to the same territory, your use of two units still counts as a two-on-two and everything bounces. (That is, the support order is NOT voided for determining bounces.)
2. Ignoring the first scenario now: If your supposed ally uses a third unit, belonging to him, to support the attack as well, then your support is voided for the determination of the dislodge-- but his is not, and assuming nothing else happens your unit will be dislodged anyway. (That is, adding your own support to an impending dislodge will not cancel the dislodgement, if the original dislodgement is sufficient to dislodge without your help.)

thanks guys. i think I knew (should have known) this already
