Interesting fort logics

This is just a series of issued commands, nothing changes in between the screen shots at all.
Can move to Gdansk.

Can also move to Tuchola.

No, cannot move to Gdansk anymore.

At this point I don't even care any more how the fort rules really work. Just thought this was fairly entertaining.

From a reasonable design perspective, they don't .

Years ago I posted a similar screenshot, except it was showing that my units couldn't move to the province they were presently standing on because movement there was blocked by a "hostile fort". ZoC hasn't meaningfully changed since then (other than the usual "anti-exploit" stuff).

Technically, nobody can move to the place where they currently are

I fail to see the strange/interesting/nonsensical part with the move order in the image. A move order is given from an occupied, not-in-a-ZoC province to a directly neighbouring in-a-ZoC province to the fort projecting said ZoC. At what point is this unusual?

The reason given isn't usually "blocked by hostile fort".

And actually, you can, by queuing orders! Except in that case.

OP can move into Gdansk but OP also can't move into Gdansk.

The unusual part is the conversation going on here (because no one is actually moving anywhere or days are passing it is just a conversation):

King:"Could you please move your troops to Gdansk?"
General:"Sure, no problem at all."
K:"Wait, no! Siege the fort in Tuchola instead. That's better."
G:"Yes, splendid idea."
K:"On second thought, no. Please just go to Gdansk as originally planned."
G:"But that is impossible, Sir. We cannot reach that province"
K:"??? But you just said you could."
G:"That was before you told us to go to Tuchola."
K:"But, but, but... In order to reach Tuchola you are moving through Gdansk."
G:"Of course. How else would we get there."
K:"Could you not just stop in Gdansk, while you are there?"
G:"No. This is not how this works."
K:"Then, how does it work?"
G:"We either go to Tuchola and then we go back to Gdansk. That would be fine. Or you could cancel the order altogether. Then we would be able to simply march to Gdansk again. But obviously it is impossible to want to siege Tuchola and then stop in Gdansk. Everyone knows that."
K:"Obviously"

Interesting? I like to use some other word...
