23 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1901: Why is Peaceful Gary Germany? I don’t trust that for a minute...
23 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1901: We enjoy the meadow flowers. The yarrow swaying in the breeze. Come down to my field, dear friends, and see.
23 Apr 20 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Bahahaha. Look what all you fools did!
23 Apr 20 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Ugh. I suck and Italy sucks. Also: I wish you all had selected names by which I could know you.
23 Apr 20 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Italy is hard. But as long as you pick up Tunis this fall that’s break even.
24 Apr 20 UTC	Autumn, 1901: Wow big turn! A lot going on!
25 Apr 20 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Allayall want you some belgium. Someone put a big waffle on the floor and said “fight!”
25 Apr 20 UTC	Autumn, 1902: Maybe another useful bulletin: you can't push from behind. In order to "support move", the supporting unit must be able to reach the destination.
25 Apr 20 UTC	Autumn, 1902: (even though it doesn't move itself)
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: Yeah, I figured out that support move detail after a few futile turns :)
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: My biggest question is the way the order drop-down menu works... you say "support move" to "location" from "location"... what's the "from"? Is that the army you want to support and where they're coming from?
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: Yeah so next turn your army which is invenice will support from tyrolia to trieste
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: For example! He he
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: Was that a joke to make a useless order for him? Don't make jokes, because I don't know how to play. If that is a real order which could make sense, please explain?
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: ha, sorry. no it was completely an accident. sorry mike! HYPOTHETICALLY, italy could order the following on this turn A Ven --> Tyr A Rom --> Ven then, next trn A Tyr --> Tri A Ven Support A Tyr ---> Tri The army in Venice supports the army from Tyrolia into Trieste.
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: The reason that "from" part of the order is important is because you could have a situation where you have multiple units all converging. Munich could have 6 armies surrounding it, for example, from 3 or 4 different countries. And the system needs to know who specifically you are supporting. In such a situation you could have 3 armies supporting a 4th, which is being attacked by two others, etc etc.
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: In this case i was laughing at myself because since he mentioned specifics I thought Mike was on the private channel. So faux pas on my part.
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: it makes sense now, i didn't realize you were talking about the turn after the upcoming turn. please explain why my unit in bulgaria lost. first, it looks like 2-2, i have a hold and a support hold vs. move + support move. also I did not know you could support other peoples' armies. i guess i should read.
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: oh does the fact that my fleet in aegean got attacked mean it can't support?
26 Apr 20 UTC	Spring, 1903: i think im ready to surrender.
