These abbreviations are non-standard in the US, but from context I
understand NGE to be the abbreviation for Norway, and GRO the abbreviation
for the Norwegian Sea.

Attacks don't cancel.  They may fail, but they don't cancel.

Three attacks of strength 2, two into Sweden and one out.  All bounce.  Even
if any one support is cut, they all will bounce as the other two stand off
and the attack whose support is cut also bounces.

Just to be sure I'm clear, the only correct adjudication of the above
orders, assuming no effect by other forces, is that all units bounce.
