and here I was thinking it was a really clever use of a little known rules loophole

Hi All,Y'all have got me confused with this turn. So many twists, so many seeming stabs and yet, not all available stabs were taken.Not a lot of commentary -- you probably read my EOG from my Haven game and I'm still a little weary from it.
So let's just get to the Results.
One funny little turn of a move needs some explanation. The Knights ordered A Shady -> Sweets, F Cel C Shady -> Sweets, Gurgi S Shady -> Sweets.
Well, the convoy was disrupted by the dislodgement of Celestial. However, the army can move directly to Sweets, and with support, the move succeeds.The original rulebook says all unit moves must be fully written, but later revisions allow for multi-route convoys as well as "convoy or not" if that is an option.
Personally, I'm a purist and like the original rule, but times change and RealWorld is written with updated rules.
A few retreats are necessary.Adjustments for Fall 12. Deadline is Wednesday, 10/10
========================Dwarves: F Dargaard Keep -> Ken, or OTB A Dragons Teeth Mtns -> Fion, or OTB A Land of Sweets -> Fion, or OTB
Knights:F CELESTIAL DELTA -> Mist, Grimpen, Shady, or OTB
Pirates: A Critter Country -> Ele, or OTB
