no, it feels strange because it is counter intuitive and illogical. never in my life has my first choice been to thing "from where" and then to consider "how many". it is always "how many" and then "from where". now, if you are german, i will agree with you, just based on the language structure used in deutschland. other than that, no way this is more intuitive. again, as many others have said, it is counter intuitive and just upsets the flow of the game when you switch to fortifying. makes no sense to attack and then re-enforce in 2 seperate ways. zero sense... the black jesus has spoken...-0

BUT think about how you actually conduct reinforcement. First you have to scan the map to find where the armies exist. Only then can you determine how many armies to move. Now the drop downs do the exact same thing, which is why the logic makes sense. I know the sentence structure is awkward and counter intuitive but I think we will get used to it.

Then should it be {From} {#} {To}? So the sentence structure would be "From Florida, fortify 10 troops to Georgia" (for the USA map).

i'd even settle for lance's response. even that is more intuitive than what is going on now. to attack and reinforce 2 totally different ways, just makes very little sense... -0

I can do that if people really find it better.

Also...the change has rendered fortifying impossible in opera mini for me. Worked before, but the number dropdown doesn't work now.
So...front page poll?
