24 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 1901: You'll have to click ready rather than save to advance the turn. In a full game it won't matter as much.
25 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1902: Try using a support move order to kick me out of Munich. You'll have to read the orders carefully to make it all fit together. One unit has to move to Munich, the other needs to support a move to Munich from the correct territory. Convoying works pretty much the same way, except it moves a land unit over a sea unit like a bridge. All pieces have to have compatible orders though, it's easy to mess up at first.
25 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1902: what happens to your unit if i kick it out.

25 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1902: It is forced to retreat. Retreating units can't go to a the province from which they were attacked, but can go to any other adjacent empty province. I couldn't move to Tyrolia, for example, however it did count for my taking control of Kiel. Be careful dislodging an enemy unit, as they can potentially still take one of your supply centers if you leave an opening.
25 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1903: Two types of bouncing are in Tyrolia and Munich.
26 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1904: Self-bouncing can be a really good defensive tactic that too many people neglect to consider.

You should try convoying as well. If you move from Naples to the Ionian Sea and from Serbia to Greece or Albania, you could then convoy into Tunis. You'd then order the Army to move to Tunis (it will say 'via convoy' in brackets) and the Fleet to Convoy to Tunis from Greece/Albania.
27 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1906: It just occurred to me that you're likely to win this one.
27 Feb 16 UTC Autumn, 1906: How is that you have more supply centers?
27 Feb 16 UTC Spring, 1907: I've taken all of the easy ones, the ones on my side of the front line. To get to the rest, I have to go around or through your lines.
28 Feb 16 UTC My unit in Piedmont had to be disbanded since there wasn't an open territory I could retreat to.
