The disband command is not described in the manual. Does it return reinforcement points, combat supplies or what ? I have several axis units surrounded with no ability to escape so I think I might be better of disbanding them than letting them surrender.

Attack with no Advance :

It would be good to have the option to launch an attack and be able to select 'no advance'(spoiling/diversion attack), whereas the chance of advance into the battle hex is more random right now, see thread :

I love the game. Playing it right now. Easy to learn, harder to grasp. Just about the perfect level of complexity. Logistics and supply is the key in this game. Every turn is quick so you can play the whole italian campaign i just a few hours.

Does this mean my supply lines will never extend after Baghdad? <br/>
If Iran surrendered, supply lines extend to the borders. At least they did for me. Until then, you are on port supply and I'm guessing that's why your supply lines are ...

My apologies KarlXII, <br/>
An event in May 9th, 1941 will trigger Germany extending rail lines in Persia from Tabriz to Yerezan. Once this occurs it will make all the ports supplied from Germany. So I stand corrected, they may not always be ...

<t> Tobruk and Benghasi always show port supply and are blue marked when hitting the (S)upply key. But Kuwait, Basra and Bandar have only showed the blue mark once and port supply info once. Most of the time it does not show and instead of "Port supply" the text "Urban supply" is showned. How do I ...

Most of the time that information is not visible in the three Persian Gulf Ports. It says "Urban Supply" and only once have I seen it changed to Port Supply. Does that depend on the weather or seasons ?

In Tobruk and Benghasi when hitting the (S)upply key the ports are blue and I see Port Supply in upper right corner of the information bar. But no such text is visible in the ports in the Persian Gulf.

Thanks for clarification!

Hmm....Where can I see the stockpile ? Is it the icon right to the naval anchor ? In that case it shows 5,8,9 in Kuwait, Basra and Bandar respectively. Just like any other inland cities.

<t> Ok thanks. I now have withdrawn a third of my force and see the supply network growing again. I would really like som coloring on the supply map or units showing that the area are not receiving enough supplies or perhaps the ports being colored to show they are supplying at their maximum rate ...

I have a lot of oil in my stockpile so it couldn´t be that and I don´t find any information in the manual about it.

How can I get hold of the patch and how do I see what changes it includes ?

And why don´t I get supply from my connection with Caucasus ? How do I know when the ports starts taking over regular supply networks through railroads ?

Hmm....So if I removed a lot of units would the supply network expand so I can continue my offensive ?
I would really like som sort of info/help telling me units are under limited supply due to port capacity.

<r> This is my situation<br/>

Thanks! Then I will know for next game. It was quite hard to take. A lot of fresh Soviet troops gathered there at the end.

<t> I have invaded Iraq through soviet union and Iran and taken all ports around the persian gulf and I have supply lines back through Tehran and the Caucasus. <br/>
<br/>
But my supply network stops building up at Baghdad and there is only 1 point of supply there for several turns. Do I have a ...

To my surprise Soviet Surrendered suddenly despite not having the lowest morale or force strength.
It all seemed to depend on the last resourcehex I occupied in Siberia. It didn´t matter that I did not take Murmansk.

<t> I have all games mentioned and love SC War in Europe and World at War.<br/>

Personally Warplan is currently not in a state to compete with Strategic Command. At least not regarding a single-player experience. <br/>
Perhaps in a year with more patches it will be a good substitute but ...
