Newbie questions

[PhilD]

Like calmon says: either your army will be prevented from moving, and combat will occur in your province between your army and the enemy army, or both armies will move (possibly resulting in position exchange), or your army will move first and the enemy army won't (resulting in battle in opponent's province).

Thus, sometimes you try to coordinate attack from more than one province, and only part of your army get there, which may result in battle loss (hey, where's my left flank?). And, sometimes an army was supposed to vacate a province while another followed, and both end up in the same province, resulting in starvation.
