I have included two pictures to show a current issue I'm having as brand new player, but it's illustrative of a broader one with the detailed unit counters in DC: The Blitzkrieg From Warsaw to Paris.
In the first image, the SS Battalion, to my understanding shows 73 combat strength (an almagation of all its factors including terrain and entrenchment and such), a 100% readiness with the large green column, a red (out of supply) tiny square in the top left, and I do not know what the green tick in the top right means. I am already doubting that what I believe is correct, though, because I include two other images that raise questions about this.

The second image shows that the SS Battalion is in supply, albeit hampered slightly. Why would this make the it fully red?

The third image shows a nearby infantry battalion with a different HQ, with the HQ quite nearby and the supply route unobstructed--yet, the ID shows a a yellow square--which I had thought meant ~medium supply. In fact, I thought the square in the top left showed:
1) green: good
2) yellow: medium
3) blue: getting bad
4) red: out of supply/heinous

There's just zero way that SS Battalion could be fully out of supply right? Nor the ID yellow while so close to the output HQ? So I have begun to completely doubt all that I thought I know about that little square in the top left and tick in the top right--that I have no clue about. I feel like I am correct that the vertical column represents readiness as it drops after artillery/airstrike, but the square and the tick mystify me.

Thank you so much in advance for the assistance.

When I say first, second, and third image--they're reversed in the post. The filenames are accurate. TIA so much

Been a few years since I played this version of the DC series so here are a few guesses. The little box represents how much of the requested supply was recieved by the unit. So I think yellow represents 50 to 75% while red is under 25%. I think this the supply that was recieved at the end of last turn/beginning of this turn (not sure which). The supply overlay is the percentage of supply it will recieve given it's current position. That SS unit may have been more cut off when supply was recieved but is in a better location now (did you move them since start of turn?).

The supply is traced from the highest HQ (far west of map in WtP game). I could try starting up the game and looking closer but then I might get drawn into playing it again

Actually terrain and entrenchment is not included. The strength of the unit is a combination of the number of power points, the experience, and I think readiness of the unit. At least if we are to go by what it is in some of the other titles Vic has produced.
