Lowering the ammo could lead to unwanted results in large & long battles. It would be tedious and not exactly realistic to drive around with ammo trucks to supply infantry squads..
I think this is/can be simulated in SP, because IIRC you have to be within one hex of ammo trucks or 2 hexes of ammo dumps. It used to be that any stationary units within range received ammo. Now I think only one unit gets 60? units of ammo a turn.
Therefore, it should be possible to extend the range of ammo resupply to say all stationary units within 5 hexes, and lower the ammo units replaced to say 10 or 20. This way an ammo carrier could drive up to a platoon HQ and resupply the whole platoon at once. Staying briefly for a minimum resupply, or longer for complete resupply. Then drive on to the next platoon.
However, this is completely academic because SPCamo won't be lowering the ammo loadouts any time soon.
