in the manual it says you can order units to support another province where they will march to nominated province in the event of a battle. when i try to give this support order the AI simply takes it as an ordinary move order. am i doing something wrong(most likely) or is the support order bugged?

IIRC (been a while sense reading the instructions) to choose the crossed sabers (rather than the vertical sabers) in the unit info box will enable movement to adjacent provinces-if possible. The crossed sabers is the order to seek combat. The unit must have some movement ability remaining for it to conduct a march to combat.

all of my units always have crossed sabres(except the small transport ones) yet the support order doesnt work. i select the unit,mouse over where i want the support and press <s> and the unit simply moves there. i do get a message saying the support order has been given BUT i only want the unit to move there in the event of a battle. that doesnt happen. im confused[&:]
