Do we compare that movement cost to something else ?
I am assuming the higher the movement cost, the more time it will take for them to get to their location ?

On that note, do we know how much a unit can move maximum in this turn? Of course I understand by train, terrain type etc... can all affect the movement hexes per turn.

There are only so many movement points per unit, the higher the cost then the longer it takes to get there. The movement picture that I have attached shows the movement rate per hour, there are 24 hours in a day but I don't know if only so many are used since people should sleep. I usually figure one hex per day walking but a lot more when they move by vehicle on a road while even faster by train. The mode also changes the speed, from combat mode with scouts and flankers out then to movement where the units just drive in a convoy which isn't at the fastest speed possible. I didn't get into the details of just how far it can travel other than experience while playing games with this system.

I start play testing years ago before everything was added so there really wasn't that much of a manual to read. I actually didn't read the manual first, I just started playing the game. I read the manual later and I gave some suggestions. But I never had the chance, or rather I never took the time, to go over the manual and check everything. I had the hard job of playing the game, reporting the crashes with all of the pertinent details, and then testing the fixes. I did things that the developers probably didn't plan on, but it was fun. Now why did that train retreat to where there were no railroad lines? Edited for this by a developer as to how far units will travel:

That's very hard to answer. There are more than 1500 different move speeds across all terrain, roads, weather effects and device types.
In general when moving in combat mode:
Foot 1 or 2 hexes per day.
Horseback 1 to 3 per day
Tracked 2 on flat terrain, 6 on roads
Wheeled 1 or 2 per day in terrain, 8 to 9 on roads.

Move mode around 2 times that speed.

But you'll often find different speeds. Roads thru rough or mountain may wind along hills, making the path longer than a road on flat ground.
Things like that. The movement model is very rich in data.

Okay, more questions on Discord about logistics and here are the answers. If it is from me, I am not the expert on logistics just on playing the game using this system . . .

Here is a picture of a supply path for the unit.

In that window, the path is given as "Time" longer path means less moved per day.
If you have 1 point of logistics power and the path is 6 hours, then they can do the trip 4 times a day, on average. Moving 4 tons per day.
As you move away into the wilderness, the path will grow longer or more time intense.
The supply base may change, as the system tries to go to a base that provides the shortest path to that unit.
If you move forward, so your supply base may does change and thus you relocate the logistics units from the old base to the new. Or split the logistics if you are using both bases at a time.
Truck/carts and foot can work together. With trucks moving on roads and foot moving on wilderness.
Thus you can combine the strength of each devices to be faster than any of these would be if the moved all the hexes themselves.
Example: 3 road and 3 swamp hexes. Trucks will keep moving on the road, with foot devices keep moving in the swamp hexes.
Truck alone would fail in a swamp, and foot would be slow even on roads.
The game can combine both for dual use on paths that have a mix of road and off road.

Then these questions and responses, edited for spelling:

I've got a few more questions about (Arty related) logistics and such.

1) Am I correct that ammunition/supply handling refers to the amount of ammo/sup units can draw using organic logistics during the logistics phase and not the amount of ammo (arty) units can handle on their own during a barrage?


2) When firing from a friendly base will artillery use base supply to augment what little is carried by the unit?


3) Will all other units share ammo with Arty units or only support units?


4) Do other units need to be set to artillery barrage / some sort of attack to provide their ammo to arty units?


5) Does this in hex sharing of ammo is limited by logistic capacity of senders, receivers, both or nobody?


6) Is ammo usage in CD role similarly also vastly higher than the Arty units organic supply? If so should CD units be paired up with logistic units for maximum efficiency?

My response although I am not the expert:

I am more of an expert on playing the game itself and not how the logistics work.

1) As far as I know, yes.

2) The artillery unit can use supplies from the base like all other units if there are supplies at the base.

3) Not unless you tell them to share supplies or ammo.

4) No, the artillery barrage can be an order to all units but if they have nothing to shoot during the barrage then they don't fire.

5) The unit will supply its own, other units with excess logistical capacity in the hex can help supply the unit, logistical units in bases can also send supplies to the unit. If there is not enough logistical capacity, then there may be a shortage depending upon the munitions already carried by the unit. Hence, giving artillery units captured logistical devices such as trucks, wagons, and/or carts can help increase this internal ammo supply.

6) Not that I know of.

The developer's response, the original questioner asking a question again and the response:

CD guns consume lots of ammo due to sheer weight of the shells.
Artillery also consumes a lot.
For both cannon types the Effect rating and Rate of Fire are used for the ammo consumption.

CD guns are usually either at a base, or have specialized devices with a huge capacity for ammo stockpiling.
Artillery relies often on logistics units, as those carry more ammo than they need during combat and share the excess. All units can do that. So an infantry unit with extra trucks can also serve as ammo source for artillery in hex, provided the infantry unit carries more then the maximum they can be expected to spend during combat.
Artillery can draw ammo from a base when located in a base.

—

Do those other units need to be set to barrage/any attack to share ammo with Arty units doing a barrage?

—

They always share ammo. But having all unit set to barrage makes their support aiding in the attack. This can add a bit of lethality. Or in other words, it does not help to "only" set artillery capable units to barrage, nor does it hurt to set HQ units to barrage if another unit in hex can attack with artillery.

Alright... so in leman terms, all I see is a lot of numbers , I have a unit that is all foot, moving on plain, what am I looking at to determine how many hexes they will be able to move ? Because I think that's really important in understanding since my strategy might change if I realize it might take me 3 days to reach a destination versus 20 days.

Look at the movement of the unit, the cost of the terrain, and how far the unit moved in the previous turn which will give your a rough idea of how far and fast that the unit will move. But since moving will increase the fatigue and disruption which will then slow down the unit, you need to take that into consideration. That is why I don't calculate more than 1 hex per day on foot unless there is a road involved.

I have seen worst, I once wanted to go into the woods and it took 2 turns for them to reach out.
I guess hoping we get a future update which can simply change the color of the arrow telling you until where the unit can move.

The question is being debated as to what to do with those religious fanatics. There are no African colonies to send them to so that can work, we could ask them if they want to emulate Jesus, or should we offer them the chance to become celibate monks.

So the combat report doesn't differentiate between destroyed and captured squads?

Only when they are laborers. POW camps as such are not in the game.

8.1.6 Artillery, Infantry Guns, and Anti-Tank Guns
.
.
.

The size of these guns (load cost) can hinder their use in difficult
terrain. The following is a list of the maximum load cost for the heavier
terrain types in War in Spain 1936-39:
§ Mountain 25
§ Tropical Mountain 6
§ Rough Jungle 8
§ Jungle 10
When planning combat in such terrain, make sure you deploy devices
that can operate there. Heavy artillery won’t do much when used in
Jungle hexes. All other terrain types have no limit for gun sizes

In the blue area, it shows the types of guns that this unit has. The ones in white can fire long range barrages or regular barrages, the ones in red can not fire long range barrages nor barrages but I believe that they will fire defensively. Built up bases may allow these guns to fire normally.

The important parts are the bases that changed hands, the destroyed squads, devices, and aircraft, and the ships. The disabled items will be repaired eventually but there is a limit to the production of a lot of these devices. The bases have Light Industry and Resources which provide the supplies. The total casualties do affect the morale (I don't know about their morals, at least I can't put any observations here on a family friendly forum!) which can affect the combat effectiveness of the units.

30 July 1936

No troops on the ships but this does help in the long run. There were 6 torpedoes used. This is important because torpedo production is slow. Submarine attacks against unescorted ships are usually on the surface with their deck guns.

The submarines and air units are still taking a toll on the enemy shipping although only 4 were sunk today. Here is something here in the pick area in this picture to note, the ship's name is in yellow which means that it is not actually sunk. It may be beached in a sinking condition so it may not be moved until it is repaired.
