This order is used to move from one province to another. When the destination is occupied by another unit, this is referred to as “attacking”.
Army movement :
An army can be ordered to move into an adjacent inland or coastal province. Armies cannot be ordered to move into a water province. Below, the diagram shows that army in Paris (par) could move to Brest (bre), Picardy (pic), Burgundy (bur) or Gascony (gas) :
Note : An army can move across water provinces from one coastal province to another via one or more fleets. This is called a “convoy” and is explained in the “Convoy order” section later.
Fleet movement :
A fleet can be ordered to move to an adjacent water or coastal province. Fleets cannot be ordered to an inland province. Below, the diagram shows that fleet in English Channel (ENG) can move to the Irish Sea (IRI), Wales (wal), London (lon), Belgium (bel), Picardy (pic), Brest (bre), the North Sea (NTH) or Mid-Atlantic (MID) :
When a fleet is in a coastal province, its warships are considered to be any point along the coast of that province. A fleet in a coastal province can be ordered to move to an adjacent coastal province only if it is “adjacent along the coastline” (as if the fleet was moving down the coast). In next diagram, the fleet in Rome (rom) can be ordered to move to Tuscany (tus) or Naples (nap) (or to the Tyrrhenian Sea (TYN)), but it cannot be ordered to move to Venice (ven) or Apulia (apu) because, although those provinces are adjacent along an inland boundary, they are not adjacent “along the coastline” :
Restricted movement :
Any location on the mapboard that is not named cannot be occupied. Switzerland is impassable and cannot be occupied. With the exception of England, islands cannot be occupied.
