Judgement: Diplomacy is a game of options, and it falls to the judgement of the Knight Tactician to determine the correct course to follow. Only with keen insight will he navigate the razor-thin edge of the path to victory.

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% on the
distance being independent of the route.

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 route that a unit would have to take to get from point A to point B. Its always been shortest path to home SCs.

In any case, on page 19 of the latest Avalon Hill version of the rules it says:
"If a country in civil disorder has to remove units, the units furthest from the country are removed first. If units are equally distant than remove fleets before armies and then in alphabetical order by the provinces in which they are located."

http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/diplomacy_rulebook.pdf

There's nothing there about the "route" that a unit would have to take. Simple count of spaces to see which units are furthest away...
