Yes, go run to the arms of England...
Peste!
Now it is my turn to be humbled. My apologies, Austria and the Russian team, I wrote the orders incorrectly.
Argh...
Perhaps the time has come for a change.
Completely irrelevant to the outcomes, but I think Austria's "A Rum S A Ukr - Sev" should not be underlined. I say this because it should default to "A Rum S A Ukr hold" since A Ukr isn't going anywhere.
Though really rather disappointing lack of supply centers changing hands across the board...
It is very explicit in the rules that a support order for a move that doesn't happen DOES NOT default into a support order to defend the province the supposed attacking army will move from. It very explicitly states that it defaults to a regular hold order instead.
Underlined implies the support did not go through. The support did not go through.
I can not move into the end of the year phase until after Great Britain's retreat order (it's fairly certain which order they will chose to send, but I still need to wait for it, as it will have a direct affect on the supply center count). As soon as I get that order I will move directly to the end of year build / disband phase. You may send your build / disband orders preemptively if you wish.
Can someone pass me a truckload of Facepalm-Pictures?
