This seems to be saying a fleet can only help convoy an army between
two coastal provinces that are adjacent to it, ruling out convoys
that require multiple steps.
I wasn't sure what exactly to do about that. I see and agree with your
interpretation, but I also felt like just removing the word "adjacent"
could imply that the unit being convoyed doesn't have to be adjacent at
all. I guess that common sense takes over there, though.
I think the key is that success for the convoy is a global property
depending on the set of undislodged fleets involved.
Here's an attempt to replace your last paragraph. Maybe it could be
made shorter.
{
A Convoy order orders a fleet in a water province to move an army from
one coastal province to another. All fleets that have convoy orders
listing the same source and destination provinces are "participating"
in that convoy, with the exception that if a fleet is dislodged, it is
not participating. A convoy is successful if the army in question
makes a move order consistent with that convoy, and the fleets
participating in the convoy form an unbroken chain connecting the two
coastal provinces. (Extra participating fleets / multiple chains are
okay.) When a convoy is successful, the army's move order is
interpreted as if the source and destination provinces were adjacent:
for example, if the destination province is empty and no other unit is
trying to move to it, then the army will move there.
Hm, maybe it should be clarified that support orders are interpreted
this way too...
When a convoy is successful, that army's move order, and any support
orders for that move, are interpreted as if the source and destination
provinces were adjacent: for example, if the destination province holds
one unsupported unit with a Hold order, and another army is supporting
the move into the destination, then the move succeeds and dislodges that
unsupported unit.
Seems good to me. Should I withdraw my original proposal or should I (or
you) submit another one fixing it?
