Thanks again :)
It seems, then, if my platoon loses its Bn HQ but its Reg HQ is still present, it will remain in supply (given the die roll).
Once that is lost, and against how the manual is written, there is no base supply available, and the platoon would remain out of supply once fired.
I agree this is quite a nut to crack. (Or how do you guys put it? That's a bingo? ;) )
Bn HQs are a real mess in larger scenarios, but again, they do take the very issue of too good of a supply into account. The trouble for trying to have the Bn HQ follow the front lines is the equivalent of the said German units lacking in radios, and relying on telephone wires.
Sometimes, for the beer&pretzel enjoyment, I would like to see the whole Supply thing an optional rule. But then again, that would be too easy, wouldn't it!
I changed the name of the thread with a hope some of the guys truly in the know of this supply thingy would join in
