How to see if unit is out of supply ?

Post by KarlXII »

Hi! Just started to play TOAW IV and started with the Kolberg scenario. How can I easily see if a unit is out of supply ? Nowhere is it stated on the unit information panel and I don´t understand where my supply lines are coming from. See the attached file, where it seems my troops in northeast are in supply but where are their supply coming from ?

Yes, I know that but I don´t see where my supply lines go and thereby how the enemy could cut it without surrounding me. I am used to be able to trace the supply back to some sort of source.

Thanks I will check this out. Is the supply rules identical between TOAW3 and TOAW4 ?

You're playing with "No Borders" ON. The supply trace only appears on hexes you have had adjacent units in.

THANKS! This was the case. Then I am very vulnerable in the northwest only having a small corridor of which supplies flows.
