France 14, Race to the sea and forts

[ComradeP]

The larger forts tend to have a supply value of a handful of points which would normally keep them from becoming isolated. However, with such a low value the garrison will go Low Ammo after a while if they keep firing, which should make them easier to disrupt. Using the normal supply rules, for a value of 2 the defenders would need to roll a 1 on a d100 to avoid becoming Low Ammo without a second check. As they would normally fail that roll, they move on to the HQ range check to determine if they become Low Ammo or not.

What you're seeing in the Race to the Sea campaign is unrelated to that, but due to there being a global -10 to supply on the 3rd of October 1914 for both sides. As Antwerp forts give 2 supply, they become (-8 turned into) 0 for game purposes. The same occurs in East Prussia, where the Russian forts lose their supply over time through the global supply level drops.
