Question regarding how Supply is calculated

Case 1) If Regimental HQ is out, Battalion HQs still try the base level. Yes or No?
I AM NOT 100% SURE BUT I THINK THEY DO CHECK ON UP THE CHAIN OF COMMAND FOR SUPPLY.

Case 2) If Battalion HQ is out, regardless of Regimental HQ status, the companies are out of luck. Yes or No?
THE COMPANIES AND PLATOONS ARE OUT OF LUCK

Case 3) Does the Company command post (1st platoon) need to be In Supply, for the other platoons to receive Supply from a Battalion HQ, or is it enough the company remains close enough to Coy CP for the Battalion HQ to do its magic? Former or Latter?

I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE IN SUPPLY TO EXERT IT'S MODIFIERS TO THE DICE ROLL

HQs – An HQ can only provide supply to units under its command “umbrella.” In addition, an HQ is never able to provide supply on any turn following a turn in which it changed its location (this simulates the Headquarters having to set up and re-establish communications). Besides that, each Headquarters (exception: Army-level HQs) must also make a supply check at the beginning of each turn. Like a normal combat unit, the Headquarters first checks supply based on the distance from its parent Headquarters; however, if that supply check fails, it then checks using the base ammo level listed for its side.


Effects of being Low on Supply – A combat unit that attacks using Direct Fire will only attack a number of times equal to its Strength Points divided by two, fractions rounded up (keep in mind that such a unit normally is allowed a number of attacks equal to the number of Strength Points it has). A Low on Supply artillery (Indirect Fire) unit cannot attack (this actually represents that battery not receiving proper fire orders, a breakdown in communications, or it is being used to support other units in a nearby battle). A Low on Supply Headquarters is unable to provide supply to other units under its command. Note that units are never out of supply; a unit that is Low on Supply can still attack, albeit at reduced effectiveness (exception: Indirect Fire units and HQs reported as “unavailable”). Any Low n Supply unit that assaults does so at 3/4 effectiveness.
