Three questions

Post by fcsaba »

Hello,

I couldn't find answers to these questions (maybe my fault) so any help is appreciated.

1. What is the different between the two? Why one is striped?

2. What does the number in the red bracket mean and how to get rid of it?

3. Can someone explain me in other words what pressing the supply twice is supposed to mean? (I'm not a native English speaker). I just can't get it.

S – Show the level of supply your forces currently receive, along with a
prediction of how much they will receive if venturing into enemy territory if
you press S again.


I don't get it because it shows different values sometimes on hexes that I already own.

EDIT: Ok, I figured this out myseld and found the answer to this last question in the manual: "Press it again to view a prediction of supply in the next turn, including in currently enemy territory, should you seize that territory this turn."

Thanks y'all.

On 1) it just means the HQ cannot reach that particular hex from movement.

The HQ attachment highlights and the unit movement highlights are very similar, e.g. the attachment highlights are a bit brighter, but early on some players were confused because they thought they could move to that hex as well with their HQ, and this only happens because the movement highlights and the attachment highlights sometimes overlap.

So in this case, it is just saying 'this is highlighting a unit that is attached to the HQ, but due to the added hatching graphic shown, if you thought you could also move to that hex with the HQ, you actually cannot'

2) The HQ is receiving supply of 5, and can distribute a supply value of 8.
