Supply?

Post by TOCarroll »

OK, got a question for all you Grognards. I have been playing awhile (since the game came out), and, while not a great player, I feel I understand the supply rules. I understand 'em, but when a PBEM bud of mine asks me to explain them to him...im speachless [8|]. So I told him, if the little box is green.....[:D]

Seriously, is there an article available that explains the ins and outs of supply, rail repair, trucks and or supply units, and (dare I hope) numbers?

I know said article exists, 'cause I read it many moons ago. Now I can't remember where it is. Help anyone.

PS We have both read the manual several times. It's not bad, but we're looking for more specifics. The game in question is an Eastern Front sceario, if it matters.

Please help win-challanged wargamers!
