HQ Supply Giving Value


Recommended Posts

Would someone please explain via examples the new rules. In opening game setup the Japanese controlled city of Wuhan is an 8. I thought supply giving value of HQ at 327/97 would be a maximum of 8 and unit at 327/98 would be a 6 but it is an 8. Also if there was an HQ in Canton and drawing supply from level 5 port would it's maximum supply giving value be 5? Thank you.

Hi Clausewitz

The HQ is supplied by Wuhan, and as Wuhan's supply value is 8, it is providing the HQ with supply of 7 (1 less than 8 as it is 1 tile away, connected by road).

If a full strength HQ receives supply of 6 or more, then it will act as a supply center at supply of 10.

Thus the unit at 327/98 which is 2 tiles by road from the HQ, is at supply 8.

But if it is receiving supply of 5 as in the example you mentioned at Canton, then a full strength HQ would receive supply of 8 if occupying the city.

Hence any adjacent units would be at supply 7.

There is more information, including a table of supply values compared to resource strength, on page 35 of the Global Conflict Manual.

Note that HQ strength is now a factor, so damaged HQs are less able to provide supply than full strength ones, and this is explained on pages 8-10 of the Expansion Notes.

I hope this helps.

Bill
