Low Ammo OOB

[Greybeard]

Hello Cross..

I little tongue-in-cheek here..

howa bout going into the Company formation.. reduce the CO squad by 2 guys, and then mod an 'ammo box' unit.. give it 2 men, a rifle/carbine in slot 1 and moves at 4 or 3.. make the carry cost so only a medium truck or HT can move them (no jeeps) .. it stays an ammo unit and gets paired with the CO using the OOB editor.. which makes the ammo guys only available when a company is purchased..

then in the game.. limit other ammo supply units to say.. 1 supply unit for every 6 gun tubes for artillery only.. no other ammo supply allowed..

now you can tune down the ammo load.. and there are 2 poor slobs that get to schlep the ammo to the troops..

while extra ammo is available, it's limited (ammo boxes re-supply at the slowest rate and only 1 unit per company).. can't move fast.. on occasion will blow up (under artillery for most likely) taking some poor friendlies with them.. if the ammo guys do get destoyed, the company that needed them will be in a world of hurt..

just an idea
