RE: Isolated Units - Gregor - 01-05-2016 Isolation occurs when you start your turn unable to trace a path back to any supply source. A path is blocked by enemy units, ZOC (if not a friendly unit in the ZOC), impassable terrain and mines. Think that's the basic of it. The test are only at the start of your turn and units keep their status until your next start of turn when a new test is run. Edit: from the user manual: Supply Determination When supply issues are being resolved for a unit in a given hex, the supply value that applies to that hex is used. If there are no Supply Sources in the scenario for that side, then the Global Supply Value is used for this purpose. Otherwise, the Supply Source of highest value affecting that hex is used. If the unit is Isolated, then the supply value in the hex is 0. Otherwise, the unit must trace a line of communication (a line of hexes free of enemy units and their Zone-of-Control crossing rivers only using bridges or ferries) to any Supply Source hex or map edge ground hex when Supply Sources do not exist. In the absence of Supply Sources, any map edge ground hex is essentially a Supply Source with that side’s Global Supply Value. If there are Supply Sources used for that side in the scenario, then the unit must trace a line of communication to a Supply Source rather than ground edge hexes. When determining this line of communication, the presence of friendly units negates enemy Zones of Control. RE: Isolated Units - GerryM - 01-05-2016 Thanks Gregor. But then I am not sure why these 3 units are isolated. ![[Image: Isolated.JPG]](https://www.theblitz.club/uploads/files/fc5/Isolated.JPG)
RE: Isolated Units - Gregor - 01-05-2016 And there are no mines or impassable terrain there, and only the 4 highlighted units are isolated? Then I don't know, seems strange...

The pic showed up twice for some reason ... Cannot see Mines or impassible terrain. The 2 Daimlers have a wreck in their hex. Seems there should be a path back to one of the 2 supply routes? Does the path have to be along roads? RE: Isolated Units - Ricky B - 01-06-2016 Gerry what scenario are you playing? In addition to mines there could be hidden enemy units. You could move right on past them and never know if you don't recon or draw fire. A bit more did the units move or this where everything started the turn? RE: Isolated Units - Ricky B - 01-06-2016 And no the path isn't limited to roads. It sure seems like the units are in mines as that is the only thing that comes to mind that explains why. RE: Isolated Units - GerryM - 01-06-2016 Thanks Rick. It's a Goodwood one, Fifes and 23rd Hussars. Trying to remember when I took the screenshot but it may not have been at the start of the turn so units may have moved. I did check for mines at the time. Finished and no hidden units have popped up. But I may have missed something. Now at the scenario end I only have one isolated and they are in a minefield. |
