If the battle has a length, then there was a battle. If there was a battle, then an army moved. So, where does the battle take place?

Please just run through the turn sequence for this simple example:
Army 1 is in Province (A). Army 2 is in Province (B).
Army 1 has orders to move to (B).
Army 2 has orders to move to (A).

What I don't understand about what you guys are proposing is:
- you're basing the chance for movement block on the battle outcome
- but movement, including blocking, happens prior to the battle.

Are you suggesting that the province of combat is determined as is currently done? Basically randomly A or B, or possibly the armies bypass, and there is a battle in both A and B? But if the battle was in (A), and Army 1 wins, then in the same turn, Army 1 gets to move to (B), and has to fight whatever PD is there, and whatever other armies moved into (B) that turn?
