Ergo; what about, for the sake of playabilty, more supply? jonny
Well, if you are talking about the 250 turn campaign then the Allies should not breakout (unless it is by some miracle), because Operation Cobra happened after that campaign. If you are talking about the 750 turn monster, well, who said they never breakout? If you play it to the time of Operation Cobra, then the allies get hordes of B-17 and B-24 carpet bombers, which would, eh, help quite a bit in that endeavor. My guess is that no one has ever actually played the 750 turn monster to completion though.
Keep in mind that I did remove the persistent -5% supply drop for the allies which had a 2% chance of happening each day. This means that there are no longer any "possible" persistent negative drops, only positive ones. So, theoretically, in the _Alt by turn 200 or so, the supply should certainly be 70 to 80%, now at least after the changes.
That said, I think it would be beneficial to add another +10% to the change that happens on the 15th of June, which is when the Mulberry Harbors were in full swing IIRC. That will put them at a natural 50% by then, with the persistent +5% changes likely to put them at 60% or more at that point, and possibly 80% by the end of the 250 turn campaign. I will also add a few more (two) +10% increases just before Operation Cobra in the 750 turn campaign, so that the supply level will be a natural 70% with the 5% increases likely putting it at 90% by then.
