meade95 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 What are the best options for re-supplying infantry within a 2hr game - It seems the Humvees hold limted amounts of 5.56 and 7.62 ammo? But how does one get this out? In that most units are to large to fit into a single humvee, it seems 3 man units are the most... (I'm a noob here). Also, in the purchasing phase....there is a simple 'small resupply convoy' (or something to this description)....but again, it brings with it 4 or 5 Humvees....but they only hold small amounts of 5.56 and 7.62 (no gernades, 204GL, 40mm, etc). Thanks for any and all advice.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Try splitting off an Anti-Tank team. They are 2 or 3 men and should be able to get in the Hummer and grab the ammo. Then put them with their parent squad and they should join back with them and raise the overall ammo level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade95 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Somewhat of a work-around (in some cases)......Thanks. It seems it would be a nice option to simply have a "unload" option associated with supply vehicles - This would unload their supplies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 For Marines your best bet for resupply are the big armored MTVR trucks. They hold a regular smorgasbord of ammo types, including for weapons you may not be carrying! Plus you can fit the whole squad in at once for ammo gathering. I kind'a thought the 'small resupply convoy' in the editor was mostly to supply targets for the opposing red forces to shoot up, like those Red taxicabs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocal Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 It brings up an interesting gap in orders. We should be able to stack an "acquire" command to any supply vehicle, just like mount or dismount. As well as having more vics with a supply capability, like maybe a LAV-Log for a bit more IED/small-arms/mortar protection than a MTVR. Or a Fallujah style M1 Abrams with 11,000 rounds of 7.62 in the bin, 6,000 rounds of .50BMG in the TC's gun, around the sides and in the bustle, and another 20,000 rounds of 5.56 in the bustle for infantrymen to take on a "as-needed" basis. How's that for a hard supply vehicle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded Apocal - in PBEM or WEGO it's a bit of a time-waster to not be able to issue an Acquire order until the unit is actually in the vehicle. I would certainly like to see Acquires be stackable onto embark orders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Agreed! Stacking an ACQUIRE would save at least one turn. (Since I usually forget about the resupply guys in the vehicle for at least a turn or two!). Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially painful when you're trying to pull some more 5.56 out of the Humvee with your 13 man squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
