Illegal moves in no-press game

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.diplomacy (More info?)

Hello all,
Is it possible to play an illegal move during a no-press game? For
example: F Bla s f Rom-nap. I tried such a move and I get the message:


G: f bla s f rom-nap
The fleet in Bla can't get to Rom to support.
....
1 error encountered.

Error flag set.



Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Yes, in some cases.

That's not possible.

Right.

The Judge checks to see if the Unit offering the support
is adjacent to the destination, so F Bla could support F Rom-Sev,
or A Par-Sev, but not Rom-Nap. Convoys are more flexible,
though, you could order F Bla C A Mun-Nap, or even
F Bla C A Par-Mos, I believe.
