When a province is attacked from two directions by the same or allied forces and the defender chooses to fight the incoming forces may not be a unified force as battle commences.
We have such a situation in Spring 1742. It has not occurred before
If I give the defender the opportunity to attack one force first and then the other its unfair on the invader whose forces might have had time to unite.
Rule to be applied in all such situations.
To establish whether the attacker has unified his forces or whether the second army is arriving late
Campaign Master's Score of D6 -2.
Adjusted scores of 0 and -1 =. armies united. Defender faces both from the start of the batttle
Adjusted scores 1 to 4 = Moves into the game before the second force arrives at the table edge. Full move on next move.
Depending on the Campaign Master's interpretation of the map this edge may be a flank in the attacker's half but the defender will be have been advised which flank by his scouts/local population.
