If there are reinforcements during the battle an artillery unit usually adds 6 more ammo (pdata value) on arrival. This is multiplied by the number of guns if that option was activated.
This is exactly the information I need! Many thanks, and I believe that Atlanta scenario can salvaged now. Last question, is all of that information in the game editor documents (meaning I overlooked it) or is it knowledge that has to be acquired through experience? Either way, many thanks once again
It is knowledge being acquired by looking at the source code 
.
Just as I suspected. One thing JTS/WDS just refuses to do is share or make things available for us customers. In this series alone
if you want to create a custom map from the master, do it by hand (unlike Pz Campaigns where there is a sub map editing tool) they DO provide some cryptic instructions though. Want to adjust or create an OOB?
Do it by hand, and watch that you don't make the slightest mistake using MS Word, or Wordpad....you'll be a long time tracking it down. Unlike Pz Campaigns where an OOB editor is standard. Want a real supply line system? Keep wishing. They give you supply depots that really don't do much but keep units from getting isolated. Want game and editor manuals that help you understand what's going on? For playing the game they'll do that, but
if you want to edit or create scenarios, well let's just say things are pretty bare bones for documentation.
If it wasn't for people like you who delve into code and are willing to share, I don't know about anyone else, but I'd still be in the dark. For a price tag of between $29.95 and $39.95 maybe just a little more could be done. But since we don't really know the status of anything after John Tiller's sad and untimely passing (it's 5 days short of 6 months now), we don't seem to be getting any insights or information. about anything.
