Newbie Question

[farcus]

I have a few newbie question that I can't seem to find in the game manual.

1. The local supply value is used if it is present and if it is not present then the global supply value will be used. Am I correct?

2. "when a unit fires during a turn, it becomes a candidate for either running Low On Ammo." - What is the formula or factors that affect this? I know it can't all be just HQ command radius.

3. How are terrain modifiers and morale modifiers used in figuring out how much damage a unit takes? Like what is the exact mathematical formula?

4. Does a unit defending behind a river/stream/water receive a defensive modifier when being attacked by a unit that is on the other side of the water obstacle?

5. I read in the help file, regardless of being in transport mode or not, there is always a 1 turn delay for towed artillery.

6. Can someone give me a detail explaination as to how combat is done? The manual doesn't do too good of a job. Say for example, I have a 500/600 men battalion with a soft attack of 10, that 10 soft attack is multiplied by 50(500/10=50), which will give me an attack value/strength of my 500 men battalion right? Then all the modifers of the units such as fatigue, morale, Infantry Fire Effectiveness, low ammo/low fuel, and terrain will all be calculating by multiplying the battalion's attack strength to give an Overall Attack Strength. And then the defender's modifers will also be calculated and then there must be some crazy mathmatical formula that resolve and figure out how much men is lost on each side right ?

I'm sure I'll be asking more questions :happy:
