Explicit Supply

[Steel God]

Think long and hard before using Explicit Supply in a Scenario.  For some it's essential to how the game will play out (Operation Compass comes to mind), while others it will absolutely ruin it (the N44 scenarios come to mind as the VST supply values are the one seriously limiting factor working against the Allies). 

As a general rule of thumb here is what I boil it down to when opponents ask me if I'm interested in using the ES Rules;  "if the scenario has a reasonable expectation of very fluid operations where being isolated on a large scale is more than a remote possibility, then explicit supply will improve the game.....otherwise, the VST rules will actually do a better job of portraying the logistical realities in most battles".
