FWIW - I agree. On all points.
You might also want to consider something at the top of the houserules

Guys,
Having taken part in creating the default HRs I can assure everyone that it was never the intention to create a set of rules that conflicted with the Standard Diplomacy rules.

Actually, I think I have only actually run into this scenario a couple of times and then
I the route wasn't an issue.
Also, given the latest rulebook reference I would have to agree with you 100%[Reply] |

Wow - lots of emails in my inbox tonight. 2 comments.

Dude - I'm pretty sure that I've seen you auto-disband using the shortest route approach. Why are we debating this? =)
I've never seen anyone calculate an auto-disband based on the rout[Reply] |
| dc 197 Winter 1905 - packrat (Dec 17, 2008, 10:38 pm) |
A fleet in SYR cannot go through ARM. If it said shortest distance I would agree.
Oh, wait - these are DC rules - the hell with the game rules.

Right on. So we agree. =)

Here's a simpler way of putting it:
The number of spaces are counted using the shortest path - regardless of whether a unit can move there or not.

| Number of spaces is counted regardless of unit type. Whether the unit is a fleet or an army is irrelevent. For the purpose of calculating distance from a home SC, the unit is either X number of spaces [Reply] |

I believe convoys don't count. It is per unit, not per route.

No, I think he may be correct - SYR can NOT go to ARM.
If we are taking convoys into account then I think the intent
is that the route the unit must take is important as well.

Nope, because a fleet in SYR is not two spaces away from a Russian province.
In that case, the fleet in SYR would be removed, because even at the least, the fleet in SYR is 4 spaces away from SEV.[Reply] |

Right on. Because if the unit in Syria was a fleet then the alphabetical part of the calculation comes in... Norwegian (N) before Syria (S)...

Exactly. Because both are two spaces away from Russias home SCs. Then you take the one that is not on an SC itself.
Go one step further. Same example but add a fleet in the Norwegian Sea. In that c[Reply] |

so then if you had a unit in MUN and SYR - the unit in SYR would
then be disbanded?

None of those take precedence over each other - they are meant to be taken as a whole.
i.e.
The unit disbanded is the one that is furthest from a home center.

There have been 3 editions since that edition of the rules... and on top of that, we have our own set of house rules.
We'll have to see what the GM says.
