Well you don't think they just left all the loot they found while digging for the Ark around Cairo do you?

RE: HQ and supply distance

<t> Yes, there are further rules.Eg: HQ with >50% of vehicle requirement or within 10MP of rail can get more than their supply requirement. HQs, and units outside of HQ range but within rail, must be within 25 hexes & 100mp to draw supply at all. "Full" supply from rail is within 25mp/10 hexes ...

RE: HQ and supply distance

<t> Just for completeness, remember that it's 5 hexes AND 20mp. From what I have seen they are separate requirements, IE 5 hex radius, even if the actual clear route is >5 but <20 MP. Eg opposite sides of a pocket.<br/>
<br/>
According to this rule, one would assume closer to the railhead for the ...

RE: German Jager division

They were more suited to broken terrain than a regular infantry division, but mostly lacked the specialized equipment of the mountain division. Their TO&E also had some extra motorized transport. <br ...

<t> In the case of the "second" 29th, it was originally being formed as the 345th Motorized Infantry division, but ended up reusing the title of 29th Motorized Division.

RE: War in the West

<t> Exactly. The only tie the division sent to Italy had with the one at Stalingrad was the number assigned to it. It was an entirely different unit with no relation whatsoever to the 29th Motorized division in WITE that is withdrawn in 1943. It was not a division from the Eastern front rebuilt and ...

<t> No, not the commander in the field, the general staff. Ostensibly who we as the player represent in the game. How they come up with it does matter, they didn't just do it willy nilly, ala the rafle. As implemented in the game, this is precisely the end result. The withdrawals hold an inflexibly ...
