Are they wrongly in supply?

Post by Joseignacio »

The 7-4 Mot and 6-3 Inf, IMO should be OOS, but they are not.

Weather is fine.

The only HQ there is 7(3)4 Yamashita, 5 hexes away, the two stacks of two units have no HQ. The only reason I can thing the game calls them supplied is that it may consider Peking a capital of a conquered country, but it is not in MWIF, it is Chungking.

Is there something I am missing? Maybe they can draw supply through the port? But without a secondary source they would have to trace a basic supply path to Japan. I always had problems with this strange supply situations.

In fine weather, as it is here, the Japanese units in China can draw 3 hexes to a port, then overseas, then a port city (for example Fukuoka) is counted as the fourth hex in the supply line.

The port city on the other side of the sea supply link always counts as one hex regardless of weather.

The short answers is: MWIF is correct. They should be in supply.

I often find when looking at MWiF Asia/Pacific maps that it is hard to remember that they are at European scale.
