re: scenario design

[Von Earlmann]

so if a tank or infantry platoon's battalion parent HQ is destroyed... could these units recover supply through a non-parent battalion HQ (e.g. a friendly battalion HQ unit that is part of a different organization?

If the HQ was destroyed, it will attempt the regain supply from the parent Regiment HQ if available on the map, as you suggest below.

Or would these units have to recover supply via their same parent HQs? (e.g. If their parent battalion HQ is destroyed... these units would attempt to recover supply via their parent regimental and/or divisional HQs? If these units can't... than they go out of supply?

If these units can't, then the unit will attempt to check supply against the base ammo level.

If they fail, then they go out or remain out of supply.

I respectfully disagree......I have units that have been out of supply almost an entire scenario without a parent HQ and they never regain supply even with an 80% base level........of course that could just be my bad luck..I also designed A Close Run Thing and a lot of the German battalions have no HQ to simulate the low level of Axis supply.....when they go low on ammo they rarely recover supply either....I'm pretty sure in the original CS rules when a unit went out of supply it could only get it back thru its parent HQ....so something has changed.
