I kinda figured you meant something like that, but I didn't want you to have misread something, only to find out as you go to turn your orders in or something.

I'll probably build a fleet in Smy so I don't have to worry about failing all my moves next turn. Anyway will talk to Gaspar and TT first.

TT will support me to Serbia next turn. His army is in Trieste and mine is in Bulgaria. What's the correct way to write the order on my part?
Also, am I allowed to support my Bulgarian army with my Constantinopole army for defense?

You'll just need to write A Bul-Ser, or simply Bul-Ser. TT would have to write A Tri S Bul-Ser or Tri S Bul-Ser; the A and F notations are helpful, but since it's unambiguous which troop is in Tri or Bul, it's not strictly necessary for the GM to adjudicate the orders. If TT doesn't support, Bul-Ser will still happen, it's just less likely to succeed since there won't be any way to dislodge a unit holding in Serbia or do anything more than bounce a unit trying to move into Serbia.
Since the Bulgarian army is moving, you won't be able to order Con S Bul: you can only support defensively if the unit you're supporting is either holding, convoying, or supporting another unit (i.e., you can only support a unit in the province where that unit is trying to end its turn in).
Also, (although I assume you already know this) since Con can't move into Serbia, it would be illegal for Con to support Bul-Ser.

Let's see.. I've been chatting with Gaspar about the future. I think I've convinced him that it makes sense for us to keep working together. I told him Germany and Italy are close, which to be honest is something I suspect, but isn't exactly set in stone. Still, I think my best bet is to team up with Russia for the "Juggernaut" for now. Once TT is eliminated or atleast his empire diminished, I can breathe more easily. Maybe it'll then be time for a stab, I dunno. The other one I have good relations with is Jkaen (England), so I hope he'll be able to pull something off over there and gain some ground.
As for this turn, I talked to Sciz after he sent his orders and he revealed to me that he tries retaking Trieste. Honestly, I have no idea how this will work out, since (according to our plan) TT will support me to Serbia with his army in Trieste. Then there's also the Greece unit to consider. I guess I'll wait till Nakor gets it all set up
Also, thanks Cyneheard!

Umm first glance at the situation.. and it looks like TT and Commodore stabbed us. I guess they just couldn't pass the opportunity of having one less SC than without the stab  This does put me in a tough situation though. We could use Sciz's help against them, but in the other hand I really need his SC's. The strange thing about the stab is that up north, TT tried taking Vienna with just his own troops, but Commodore also tried to support him there! Either TT thought he wouldn't get the support and decided to stab Commodore as well, or more likely, they just miscommunicated.

Well, this sucks. We're now running shorter turns even though I didn't agree with that, and also I got a job. This is pretty likely going to cost me this game, because I simply won't have time to catch ppl online, afterall it was hard even with 3 days and me being online for almost the whole day. But I'll try to keep you guys informed.

Hey Jowy, Winter turns and retreats/disbands really only need 24 hours. If you have trouble with 48 hour turns, I'll gladly make them 72 hours again.
