Newbie Question--Can you coordinate multiple armies attacking a single province?

[DragonRider]

As an additional note, if you hit "y" while targeting a province, it will open up the army setup screen for all the units moving INTO that province next turn, making it easier to set up their formation so they fit together.

Though this makes me wonder...if my armies in A and B move to converge on C, but an enemy army in C simultaneously tries to march against A...is there a chance that A and C will have to fight without support from B? The rules when two provinces try to attack each other at the same time get kind of tricky.

This is very useful!
And... mayhaps a closely guarded secret of the Theurgs.

The no-support scenario happens quite a bit-- there has been conjecture that army size may determine which province hosts the battle (and thus which support detachments arrive,) with smaller armies perhaps moving faster. (Gaining the attacking role in the battle.)

I have not seen much in the way of probability testing numbers, though perhaps another is more familiar with the likelihoods of each scenario.

Heh. More like a closely guarded secret of the instruction manual. I knew I was reading it for a reason!

One word of warning: if a unit is currently in that province, but has been ordered to move out to somewhere else next turn, they show up on that screen anyway. Not typically a factor if you're invading rather than setting up a defensive force, but something to be aware of.

*nods* I've just tested it and found it in the manual. I... I... missed it previously. This is saddening!
