> not, the attacker must use three to dislodge ALL units
> from the space.  Essentially the logic is that if the

> would stop what they were doing and defend their
> territory.  Hence, any support being offered elsewhere
> would be cut and the unit, in effect, reverts to self
> defense.  A single unit attacking a space with
> multiple units must specify which of the units it is
> attacking.

> EXAMPLE:
> England has two fleets in NTH and an Armies in Norway
> and Belgium.
> Germany has fleets in SKA, DEN and an army in Sweden
> and wants Norway.
> Germany must specify that his fleet is attacking the
> fleet offering support to the fleet in NWY.  If
> neither unit is offering support to NWY then the order
> is void.  
> England’s Orders:
> F NTH supports BEL
> F NTH supports LON
> 
> Germany’s orders:
> F DEN attacks F NTH supporting NWY
> F SKA sup SWE to NWY
> A SWE to NWY
> 
> Since England did NOT order support for NWY the German
> order is void.  Conversely the English supports for
> LON and BEL are NOT cut.  If Germany hits NTH with an
> equal or superior force all supports are cut without
> need to designate which fleet would be hit.  The same
> holds true if France orders a unit to NTH with German
> support.
> 
> 
> Two units coming from the same space attacking another
> space combine for a force of two.  Two units attacking
> a space, but coming from different spaces, bounce.
> 
> EXAMPLE:
> Given: two Austrian units in Vienna and one enemy unit
> in Budapest.
> 
> Austria orders both units in Vienna to Budapest.  The
> unit in Budapest holds with no supports.  BOTH
> Austrian units move to Budapest.  Austria could also
> have ordered one unit in VIE to move while the other
> supported it.  However, that support could have been
> cut by any unit bordering VIE.
> 
> RETREATS:
> Multiple units dislodged can retreat to ANY allowed
> space.  Both may retreat to the same space, or each
> may retreat to a unique space.  If a unit from another
> country retreats to the same space standard Diplomacy
> rules apply and both units (or multiple units) are
> disbanded.
