7.11. Supply
An air unit that could have higher supply if it
were attached to an HQ will show with a red
hatched highlight underneath it. If supplied
by a HQ but it could receive higher supply if
commanded by another nearby HQ projecting
higher supply, will show with a purple hatch
highlight underneath it.

EDIT: It wasn't so easy to find as I first searched
for 'red cross' and then 'crosshatch' and then
'cross hatch' with no luck, so I then tried 'red'
only and found it!

This prompts a question: do people here routinely manually assign units to HQs? I have yet to progress to that level. Is it important?

It can be if say your HQ is supplying a garrison instead of your airforce!

OK, but I think it will be a while before I properly understand supply and other fundamental game concepts.

You can start here if you like. I tried to help folks understand that first. I am still vague on HQ manual assignments myself.
