Using march order to attack and add support at the same time…

By Joeyk1985, in A Game of Thrones: The Board Game

I've seen a Baratheon move 1 of his ships in round 1 to blackwater bay, he had support +1 in Kingswood on his FM

His second move was… taking King's Landing !!!

March + 0 Knight Dragonstone > Kingswood

March + 0 FM Dragonstone > King's Landing

FM + newly arrived Knight + 1 support = 4

FM attacking KL = 1 (totalling 5 combat strength)

Although it looks legit, can i have second opinions ? Is it a correct move ?!?

I think this is legal. Certainly if the attack was against another player, the Knight marching into the supporting area would immediately lend its support. Attacks on Neutral forces are a little more vague, but I think he would add his support here as well.

mmm…

Have to start using new bara openings then…

Taking King's Landing is the usual opening move for Baratheon in our group. Those double crowns are too tempting to pass up in case the A Game of Thrones Westeros card comes up.
