Yes - that is correct if I order BOTH units to retreat to Ruhr. In that case, the retreats bounce and both units disband.

HOWEVER - I have two retreats to order and two options for both - either Ruhr or OTB (Off The Board). If I order one of the units to
Ruhr and the second unit to retreat OTB then the problem is avoided.


I fail to see why BOTH units would have to be disbanded when I clearly have that choice.

I haven't confirmed with realpolitik yet, but according to rule orthodoxy, both german units may need to be disbanded given that they can both only withdraw to ruhr. Alternatively one of the 2 can be disbanded and the other retreated to ruhr. Check page 17 of the attached 4th edition diplomacy rulebook under disbandment.


I don't know how this group deals with the tricky situation arising from a lack of clarity in the 2000 rule update. The 1992 rulebook was clearer when it came to this particular.

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
