Hi

With "Explicit Supply" you have supply units, either moveable (trucks) or fixed (dumps), within the range of which your troops have to be to draw supply (fuel and ammo) - the supplies drawn are expended and finite therefore the supply units disappear over time, and are replaced either through the capture of enemy supplies or via the reinforcement process.

with "Virtual Supply Trucks" - supply is drawn from supply sources as depicted on the maps, but the game automatically calculates supply status using a movement algoritm, which effectively reduces the efficiency of supply delivery the further you are from a source. This is particularly relevant if in difficult terrain because it use the movement cost of trucks to work out the "transport" cost.

If "neither" of the above is chosen then the system uses map supply sources only, and the global supply value delivered by them.

Dont forget the relevence of HQ's in the above as the distance from the HQ affects the success of the refuel/reammo of a unit.

I try whereever possible to play with VST's because they add the realism of the logistical "tail" without the labourious task of managing the supply units themselves, thus allowing you to concentrate on the combat side of the campaign.
