amphibious assault and leadership

[voncasey]

haven't been able to get an answer for this one on related posts

for units prepping for amphibious assault, does leadership matter??

for instance, if you are prepping American troops to assault Sicily from North Africa having a leader nearby will usually get them supply of 6 or 7 but without a leader the supply suffers. Will the supply when they hit the beaches automatically go to 10 for the first turn (if the transport only takes 1 turn), or is it the same supply value as what they were at before loading into the amphib boats??

reason i ask is it is hard to get a group of units (eg 3-4 armies) up to 6 or 7 even with a leader nearby, even with control of Gibraltar and Malta. so is would be nice to know if amphib assault troops automatically default to supply of 10 on their first turn off the boat for staging purposes

thanks

Leadership helps a unit's morale and supply and of course readiness and since these values change over time depending on supply if the unit has high values before it embarks this can be helpful.

Units that land take the supply value of the Amphibious Transport right before landing and since AT decrease in supply each turn at sea it is advisable to not keep them at sea too long etc., hope this helps!
