understanding Command and Supply

[Ricky B]

If the supply is fairly well balanced, you will have enough supply trucks to mostly keep your units moving and fighting, unless there were historically shortages. But you as the player can control some parts of that, and not always firing artillery, for example, may be needed to keep supply up. Or not supplying a brigade or two, etc. You have to play and see what works for you. One hint, depending on the situation - don't move units a short distance in a single turn, especially late in the day, and then them stationary the balance of the day, as the units will use as much fuel - i.e. go low fuel as often - whether they move one hex or the max every turn.

In Bulge with explicit supply, I avoided moving a German division that released right before midnight so I wouldn't use any fuel for a single turn. Just some thoughts to keep in mind and experience will help.
