Low ammo / fuel issue.

[burroughs]

And what actually does that mean if a motorized unit unloaded and fighting on foot has a low fuel status? ...

It takes a -1 Morale hit.

I see; well, I'll bet it's somewhere in the manual, but was too lazy to look it up or actually preferred to have an old hand say something meaningful and concise at the same time. Good idea with that morale loss; I know the instance where some of the 101st Abn paratroopers were transported back on trucks after a particularly vicious encounter down on Hell's Highway, it's even in the "Band of Brothers" - that must have been hell of a relief, rotating out of the first line - impossible feat to achieve if there was no fuel.

True to the fact with that Red Devils ordeal; Jerries were cunning enough to capture some of their signal panels and divert the supply drops or even vector the airstrikes on them with friendly air assets as Kershaw put that in his "It Never Snows in Septemeber".
