New to the game - Basic Questions

Ok, appreciate it guys. I knew I came to the right place!

How does the Hungarian INF east of Stalino get supply? No HQ it can use is nearby, and I see no overseas supply route it may use.

A supply route to primary can use RR supply. The unit is on a coast and the Black Sea has a CP. I think it can trace overseas to a port for 1 and then along a RR to Hungary or Germany, with two to spare to get around interrupted RR hexes if need be. (Looks like the unit is in a zone with snow.)

There is a small strip of coast. It can trace overseas.

Wait, it is Snow and the port is frozen...

But in the coast it gets supply always. The question would be why the 7-4 unit downstairs cant trace

[Orm]

The Hungarian unit is on a coast and it can use the CP in the Black Sea, but it can not use a railway path since it is not a secondary supply source. Thus it has three hexes to reach a supply source in winter. I see no supply source. As there are no HQ close it should be a city and I can think of no city within reach that would supply an Hungarian unit.

On second thought, I was incorrect. RR paths must originate at a secondary source. Sorry about this brain fart.

Unless the unit can trace a basic path to an HQ that is not in the picture, say one hex to a port than two more hexes to a cooperating HQ, it should be OoS. So, yeah, the only way the Hungarian unit is in and the 7-4 (in rain) could be out would be a hypothetical, unseen HQ that is one hex away from a port on the Black Sea.

Well I learnt a bit more with Orm today. Since most of these cases happen to me in the Med and there there is very frequently a friendly HQ seas away, they only need to trace till Italy, or Greece if conquered, etc..

Didnt know that in this case of Overseas needed to trace with a Basic Supply Path after the maritime part.

However, the 7-4 GE unit IMO should be able to trace, since they collaborate with Romania and Bucharest (secondary) is only 2 hexes away from the sea. Wouldnt it?
