SHQ replacement supply? Which units?

Post by kneecaps »

I receive reports that my SHQ can't supply replacements to all units that wanted them due to logistics. Is there any way to directly see which units didn't receive their replacements? I've tend to cycle through and have a look ...but that's not fun after a while :D

Are items (3) and (6) on the counters what you're looking for?


(1) action points that remain; each block signifies 10 AP; if the unit has not moved yet the blocks will be green, otherwise they will be white
(2) serial number of the type created by the Raise Unit command; letter shows “M” for Militia units
(3) supply state; green the unit received all supplies; yellow, blue or red it has increasingly lower supply state; if black the unit received no supply
(4) NATO symbol for echelon and type (example is echelon Battalion, type Armor)
(5) number of troops; one point signifies either 100 infantry or 10 tanks/vehicles or guns.
(6) bar shows the unit's integrity; a filled bar means the unit has all troops authorized by TO&E and its integrity is at 100%; color of the bar signifies the readiness; if green the readiness is high; yellow, blue or red it has increasingly lower readiness

Check under the Statistics button in the top right, I remember there being this kind of information included there.

Thank you, but it's the same problem, I still have to shuffle around looking at units. My Empire Report says "units didn't get replacements from SHQ!" but I have no way to go directly to which units.

I can look around and look at bottlenecks...and eventually find the units...but there must be a way to see directly.

I hear 'ya.

How about this: Stats->Replacement Logistics
You'll have to bounce back-n-forth between "Replacements Requested" and "Replacements Received" lists, but it might be better than scrolling the map all over the place - esp. when the game has advanced to later turns and the empires are large.

Also, note, in an earlier version of the game, in the Food logistics section of the Stats we've found arithmetic errors in adding up received quantities. Vic has corrected those. I haven't checked the replacements logistics section arithmetic accuracy. I'd spot check it with actual on-map counters before trusting it.
