maybe it's the term 'hold' that's throwing everyone off. How about we change up the terminology...

A Paris Supports A Lyons, which isn't moving
A Lyons Supports A Paris, which isn't moving

[orange]

think of it this way...

if the orders were just A Par S A Lyo, A Lyo H, what is A Paris doing? It's holding, but it's also supporting A Lyons. The reason that both can support each other is that they're both supporting the other units hold.

Paris has a strength of two, and Lyons has a strength of two, since both units are supporting the other holding in place. If either is cut, then the other only has itself to hold.

It's completely legal.

That's what I want to know.

it just means that the two units are supporting each others hold. Is that so hard to comprehend?

How can you hold AND support?

[GePap]

Well, Egypt hopes FRFKAG will remeber its friends in the east when speaking to them two.....

Oh, also, just thought I should mention that the leaders of France, Spain, and the Federal Republic Formerly Known As Germany (FRFKAG) will be meeting in Camp Newark, Delaware, to discuss a new world order. It's about time for our pathetic armies to rise up and overthrow our near invincible enemies. We'll post pictures of the event if possible

(In other words, Shi Snowfire and I are having a polymeet tomorrow 3/12. Technically this breaks Postal Diplomacy rules, but I don't think anyone will mind )

You didn't fix many of the mistakes on the map that I mentioned.

I have a fleet in Morroco, not an army

[Bosh]

Retreats were held up by an email problem, they're in now.

Italy retreats to Apu, Turkey to Cro and Bul

Fall orders due Sunday 10:30 EST

[Bosh]

A Uggh->Snap
A Blah supports A Uggh-> Snap
A Drat supports A Blah supports A Uggh->Snap

Nope, Drat can only support A Uggh->Snap if it is adjacent to Snap.

NO, you asked if a unit can support a unit supporting a third unit, aka:

No, I asked if two units could support each other. I assume that an attack on one cuts the support of the other, so that three units attacking two countries like this would result in the defender losing a country.

edit: No, you're right, I did ask that. Yeesh, that's not what I meant! I gotta pay closer attention.

NOw, maybe I understand why that works, but

A Drat supports A Blah
A Blah supports A Drat

????

What exactly is going on? If I attack A drat, and A Blah seperately, what the hell is the outcome? I cut btoh supports, yet btoh seemed to be holding....

So again, ????

[chequita guevara]

I asked that in the last turn.

[GePap]

Silly question, but since when can armies support the support of themselves? ie, A Ank support A Izm, and army Izm supports army Ank?

[Bosh]

Those are the last set of orders I recieved for France, sorry.
