DF85 Explicit Supply in AFNorth

[JDR Dragoon]

The NATO players problem isn´t supply. The NATO players problem is being outnumbered 4:1 in division equivalents (3 brigades/Regiments: 1 Division equivalent. WAPA gets 8 division equivalents, with all the AB and Marine units factored in, and NATO gets 2 Division equivalents of troops, once every last Dane and Brit shows up) and having to defend in terrain suited for the attacker. I agree that the arrival schedule of the WAPA players supply counters should be sped up, but giving the WAPA player more supply is simply silly and serves at best to maintain an already pro-WAPA stock scenario in its present state (if you are in doubt you can enter the scenario database on this site and see the playresults for yourself). It might make it more "realistic" but it also destroys any possibility of using "Explicit Supply" as an optional rule in the defenders favor (and if everybody has enough supply counters why even bother playing with Explicit Supply "On" if you don´t have to prioritize your supply?). Doubling up the WAPA players supply merely means that the NATO player will go down so much more faster.
