A week it is. Next Thursday then. We'll work out exactly when what with all that wacky international date line and everything when we get closer to it.
And for Gorgon:
A)to support an army does the supporting army have to be connected to the province the attacking army is moving into or moving from?
The supporting unit must be adjacent to the space the attacking unit is moving
into. You must be adjacent to the space to be able to offer support into it. You do not need to be adjancent to the province where the "attacker" is coming from. As an example, if an army is moving from Kiel to Berlin, and the army in Munich wants to support that army moving into Berlin, the support order would read like this:
A Mun S A Kie-Ber
(or the army in Munich supports the army moving from Kiel to Berlin)
B)If a convoy is broken up, do the troops being convoyed return to the space they origionated, or do they get removed from the board?
The troops just fail to convoy. It is as if they never boarded the ships, and they remain in the space where they started the turn, provided they do not get dislodged themselves.
C) Can you convoy over a series of turns to move over a huge chunk of ocean, or do you have to follow those red lines, like in RISK?
There are no lines like in Risk. If you wish to convoy, you must complete the convoy in one turn. You cannot have an army "board" a ship, then move the ship the next turn to a new sea zone, and have the army "unboard" into a land space. It isn't helpful to think that convoyed armies occupy the ships that are convoying them. Just pretend that the ships are bridges that armies can use to cross over or something.
Now, if you want to convoy over two or more sea zones it is possible, all on one turn. You just have to have a fleet of your own (or a friendly fleet from another player) in each of the sea zones through which you wish to convoy the army. So if you had fleets in each sea zone all the way from the Gulf of Bothnia to the Adriatic sea, you could convoy an army from Finland to Trieste in one turn. It would be difficult to manage, but possible.
