"After Range Penalty" and Yellow Icons on Combat Screen

Post by Icedawg »

In the supply information window, what exactly does "after range penalty" mean?

I thought it had something to do with units being too far from their parent HQ (extended supply lines). However, I noticed that units stacked directly with their parent HQ were paying this penalty. So, it obviously has nothing to do with distance to HQ.

As far as the yellowed-out subformation icons, what do they indicate?

@icedawg,
 
1. i think after range penalty is after a reality check ( range of hq, availability of supply at HQ).
 
2. the yellowed SFs indicate broken through subformations. One they are broken through they can target backbench SFs like trucks and artillery.
 
Kind regards,
Vic

Thanks for clarifying the yellow subformations, but what do you mean here? I've had HQ's with tons of supply and all of their subordinate units are in the same stack, yet the subordinate units are paying this extra supply penalty. So, it has nothing to do with amount of supply or distance to HQ. There must be something else going on.
