 <a name="2.B"><h3>2.B. ORDER NOTATION</h3></a>
 <p>The order notation in this document is as in DATC, with the following additions for multiversal time travel.</p>
 <ul>
-<li>A season within a particular timeline is designated in the format X:Y, where X is the turn (starting from 0 and advancing with each movement phase) and Y is the timeline number (starting from 0 and advancing with each timeline fork).</li>
-<li>Adjudication is implied to be done between successive seasons. For example, if orders are listed for 0:0 and then for 1:0, it is implied that the orders for 0:0 were adjudicated.</li>
-<li>Units are designated by unit type, province, and season, e.g. "A Munich 1:0". A destination for a move order or support-to-move order is designated by province and season, e.g. "Munich 1:0".
+<li>Timelines are designated by letters, e.g. "a", "b". Turns are designated by numbers, e.g. 0, 1, 2. A board in a timeline X at turn N is designated XN. A location LOC on that board is designated X-LOC@N.</li>
+<li>In examples that cover multiple turns, orders are given in sets. Each order set is adjudicated before moving on to the next set.</li>
+<li>Units are fully designated by unit type and multiversal location, e.g. "A b-Munich@3". Destinations for move orders or support-to-move orders are fully designated by multiversal location, e.g. <code>a-Munich@1</code>. Where orders are not fully designated, the full designations are implied according to these rules:</li>
 <ul>
-<li>If season of the ordered unit is not specified, the season is the season to which the orders are being given.</li>
-<li>If the season of a unit supported to hold is not specified, the season is the same season as the supporting unit.</li>
-<li>If the season of the destination of a move order or the season of the destination of a supported move order is not specified, the season is the season of the moving unit.</li>
-<li>For example:
-<pre>Germany 2:0
-A Munich supports A Munich 1:1 - Tyrolia</pre>
-The order here is for Army Munich in 2:0. The move being supported is for Army Munich in 1:1 to move to Tyrolia in 1:1.</li>
+<li>If only the timeline of a location is specified, the turn is the latest turn in that timeline. E.g. if timeline "a" is at turn 2, <code>a-Munich</code> is interpreted as <code>a-Munich@2</code>.</li>
+<li>If the timeline or turn are unspecified for the target of a move or support-hold order, the timeline and turn are those of the ordered unit. E.g. if timeline "b" is at turn 1, <code>A b-Tyrolia - Munich</code> is interpreted as <code>b-Tyrolia@1 - b-Munich@1</code>.</li>
+<li>If only the province is specified for the target of a support-move order, the timeline and turn are those of the supported unit. E.g. if timeline "a" is at turn 2 and "b" at turn 1, <code>A a-Munich supports A b-Tyrolia - Munich</code> is interpreted as <code>A a-Munich@2 supports A b-Tyrolia@1 - b-Munich@1</code>.</li>
