Convoying an army across one water province
A fleet in water province (not a coastal province) can convoy an army from any coastal province adjacent to that water province to any other coastal province adjacent to that water province. To do it, the army must be ordered to move to the intended province and the fleet must be ordered to convoy it. A fleet cannot convoy a fleet. A fleet cannot convoy more than one army during the same turn.
Note : Fleets in any coastal province (including Constantinople (con), Denmark (den) and Kiel (kie)) cannot convoy.
In the next example, the fleet in the North Sea (NTH) convoys the army in London (lon) to Norway (nwy) :
Support cannot be convoyed
Only armies can be convoyed. “Support” cannot be transported from one army via a convoy to another unit.
Convoying an army across several water provinces
If fleets occupy adjacent water provinces, an army can be convoyed through all these water provinces on one turn, landing in a coastal province adjacent to the final fleet in the chain.
The next example shows the English army from London (lon) goes to Tunis (tun) on a single move, with help from the French player :
Disrupting a convoy
- Dislodgment of a fleet in a convoy causes the convoy to fail. If a fleet ordered to convoy is dislodged during the turn, the army to be convoyed remains in its original province. An attack on a convoying fleet, which does not dislodge it, does not affect the convoy.
- A convoy that causes the convoyed army to standoff at its destination results in that army remaining in its original province. If a convoyed army arrives at its destination province and is unable to stay there because of a standoff with another unit(s), then that convoyed army must remain in its original coastal province (It could still be forced out of its original province by a successful attack there). An army can be supported into its destination province to help avoid a standoff.
In next diagram, the fleet in the Tyrrhenian (TYN) is dislodged, so the French army does not move from Spain (spa) to Naples (nap) :
