Bromley Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Has anyone figured out the supply rules from the demo (or elsewhere)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narayan Sengupta Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 It looks like you have to have an unbroken line back to a supply city or perhaps a port. HQs appear to extend supply to units within two hexes of the HQ at the start of a turn. Narayan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narayan Sengupta Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Blackbellamy, Very intersting. Did you have an HQ with you? Narayan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straha Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Rundstedt is a HQ. I could be wrong and confuse different games here or such, but IIRC, the HQ always provide at least some supply to the units in their vicinity even if they can not trace a valid supply-line home.

StrahaIt would appear that nearby cities contribute to supply-using the 'scorched earth' rule during a Barbarossa I ran awhile back, those 0 level cities seemed to sap supply from my front line units near those cities. It might have been another thing operating coincidentally of course... John DiFool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorski Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 From what I have read, a city can not contribute to the supply line until it reaches 5 mpp. What you might have witnessed was your HQ moving too far away from the nearest level 5+ city. An HQ can also act as a supply point for more distant HQ's. Gorski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Supply works like this, the greatest value from the following is used to supply a unit: - Maximum supply value from a city - Maximum supply value from an HQ Supply From a City = City.strength - unit.distance to City so this could be... Supply From a City = 10 - 5 " " = 5 Supply From an HQ = HQ.supply - unit.distance to HQ so this could be... Supply From an HQ = 10 - 7 " " = 3 In this case the supply value will be taken from the friendly city. Also, distances include terrain costs. Hope this helps, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
