ADCT01 Game C, Spring 1902 Moves

[SnowFire]

Greetings again folks. The West is bogging down in a 5-way hate quintangle, while in the East, the shores of the Black Sea run red as 3 armies are dislodged in the furious fighting.

All 3 of our involuntary army leavings had no-choice retreats which I've assumed did not go OTB (with the obvious exception of A Rumania). If you would like to retreat OTB, please post so here.

Fall moves are due Saturday! Everything got in on time this season, by the way, so let's keep it up.

[Taurus]

I have a problem with how the moves came out.

The unit in Sev (the Russian F) had only no support in staying there, while Russia's A in Arm had Mos' support in getting into Sev.

Shouldn't this move by Arm go thru, get Arm into Sev and make the Sev unit retreat OTB?

[MDR]

The south is really becoming a mess!

As for the Russian situation...Common PBEM dip has bounces happen before retreats, and you can't dislodge your own units.

Sorry, I know this is the GMs job, but I'm bored here at work. I couldn't help commenting.

[SnowFire]

MDR is correct. You can't dislodge your own units or cut their support. That attack was useful, however, had you ordered
A Rum-Sev
F Bla S A Rum-Sev
Russia's supported attack on Sev would have made it a 2:2 bounce. If he hadn't supported that move on his province that he knew was likely to fail, then you could have taken Sev with a move like that.

Dip C game extension

I need an extension for game C.....I have a moves question that I need to communicate with you about !

[Taurus]

Ah, could you please remind me whether I sent you my orders ?

[SnowFire]

Taurus, believe it or not you are the only person with non-preliminary orders in.

The extension's granted since nobody seems to have their orders in, as well as because of Chazzy's request. You should have a reply in your mailbox, by the way.

It'd still be nice if people got their moves in somewhat soon.
