Archived from groups: rec>games>diplomacy (more info?)

I had these units:

F MAO
F Spain(nc)

I wanted to adjust their positions and issued these orders:

F MAO-Spain(sc)
F Spain(nc)-MAO

The judge decreed that this was a bounce. No other units were involved.

I know that a fleet on a particular coast is deemed to occupy the whole
territory but my orders involved separate coasts. So is the judge
correct, and if so, why?

The judge is correct, two units cannot swap positions.

That adjudication is correct. The only way two units could legally swap
provinces would be if one or both of them moved by convoy. For example:

F Lvn-Pru, A Pru-Lvn: Illegal

F Lvn-Pru, A Pru-Lvn, F Bal-Convoys A Pru-Lvn: Legal

Actually, I would probably rule the 2nd case a bounce also, going back to
the "unwanted convoy" rule. Even if those moves were all made by one
nation, the usual interpretation of orders is that a unit goes by land
unless either (a) its impossible for it to do so or (b) it is specified in
the order that its going by sea. Neither is the case here... I would want
to see something like A Pru-Bal-Lvn or A Pru-Lvn via Bal in order to accept
it.

Actually, I just looked this up and it seems that the 2000 rules have
clarified the issue, and I was wrong in my previous post, with the
assumption that its one nation making all of those orders, we assume the
intent is to convoy, so the orders are legal.

Damn me for not reading the updates and ignoring the 2000 post discussions
on rgd on these topics!
