FWWC and artillery ammo consumption

[Volcano Man]

Well, Zuber can write what he wants, and his books are very good, but let's just say that he tends to favor the Germans. Just lining up guns along the Marne without infantry wouldn't have done the job, the French infantry were involved and shed a lot of blood to make that happen as well.

That said, one could argue that the French 75mm, and their numbers, and how they are employed, directly does determine whether or not the French can be successful at slowing and/or stopping the Germans, at the Marne or anywhere else for that matter in the early campaign. So, yes, the guns did play a big part. :)

In any case, yes, supply drops are factored in to account for the drop in stockpiles. Just try playing Ypres or so to see that in effect. ;)
