Why does it cost the army in Kent 1 MP to travel to Cornwall, yet it takes the same army 2 MP to travel from Cornwall to Wales?

No. It means they won't retreat at all.

Dunno. You might be mixing moves. Read the tutorial in the game directory.

Hmmm, actually, after having looked at the rules it appears that that button (Retreat Level) *is* where you set the combat rank, from 1 (front rank) to 5 (reserves). The problem is that when I tried it just now (I tried to set the rank to 3) it set the rank to 0. Then I tried setting it to 1, and it set the rank to 0 again.

So I still don't know what's up with that.

I am at work also, so I dont have the game in front of me, but a thought that you could try is this:

Create a new unit in the region you want to rank your army. Add each unit you want in the army and set the rank when they are added. It asks what rank you wish to set troops in an army when you add them to the army initially.

Bah, ok, I figured it out... the "Reassign Troops" button is where you change their combat rank. buffalobill was right... the retreat level is something totally different...

It costs one MP to travel to a friendly province and 2 MP to invade a hostile province. Wales is a hostile province.

Something I didn't see; are there stacking rules or can you place an unlimited number of units in a province?

It takes 2 MP's to enter an enemy held or independent territory but only one to enter your own territory. Wales is independent.

EDIT: Rwingo breat me to it.

From what I just read in the rules, there is a maximum of 99 units per province.

Unlimited stacking rules. Crank out as many troops as you can. Eventually the upkeep will consume your entire budget if you don't expand enough.

Don't worry my Mongolian friend; Venice has plenty of cash. Need a loan?
