Question regarding how Supply is calculated

[Von Earlmann]

HQs – An HQ can only provide supply to units under its command “umbrella.”

As for the base supply, the manual seems to imply it is possible to get resupplied even if no HQ chain of command is present? Including the CP?

Thanks guys. Supply is of such importance regarding the battle value, I appreciate your help

The manual would seem to suggest that but I am 99% sure that if a units umbrella is gone they are doomed to no supply for most of the scenario. Unless they never fire. Sometimes they can fire without going low on ammo but, once they do it is almost impossible to recover supply after that without that parent hq.

Reason for company supply rules is the designers actually intended for this to be a company game and I think they intended for companies to work as a unit. Hence it is very important in large scenarios to regroup your companies if possible and not recon by death with hq platoons :-)

This a good thread and should be revisited from time to time. As Bradley said Amateurs talk tactics and professionals talk logistics. Great example is the Bulge..Germans had a pretty good plan and tactics but at the crucial times they had no bullets :-)
Another good example is Kursk. Germans had ample supplies but couldn't get them close enough to the front in time of need.

I think you mean the "W" key for supply range. "H" shows movement possibilities. :thumbs_up:

Just trying to help...

Yeah, that's right.......I rarely use the W button as my units are retreating so fast the hq never gets in supply :-)
