OK, Pandin's Paradox is a paradox that results from various types of convoy
orders. The basic problem is, if a convoy is disrupted (a fleet in the
convoy dislodged) the convoyed army is considered to never haved moved.
This can result in a paradox because a convoy's sucess can result in the
disruption of another move that in turn results in the convoy's failure.
(and so on).
How to solve this? Change the rules such that disrupting a convoy will
prevent a convoyed army from moving (and thus dislodging a unit at the
destination) but that cutting of support remains if the convoy suceeds or
fails. I think you will find this solves all paradox's nicely since moves
can fail but support cutting is always certain. Note that the rule "A
Convoyed Army does not cut the support of an attack against on of the
Fleets necessary for the Army to Convoy" remains.
I think you will be very pleased with the result of this new proposed
rule.
The net result with be very akin to what happens when a single moving army
is dislodged in an attack. The army (or fleet in this anonogous case) is
dislodged, but any support not granted into that army's (fleet's) space is
cut.
