Patch sent to Joel and Pavel. I hope they will be able to post a hotfix exe soon.

Wow, thanks.

I've now taken measures to preserve supplies. The current situation is unsustainable.

ORIGINAL: morvael

I have also noticed you have some construction units attached to forts. It seems current supply code is not ready to deal with such units (forts are not HQs, so those units have to be resupplied like they would be standalone), and they get nothing. I will have to fix that as well, but this is more complicated issue so it must wait.

This is a worry -- fort zones with 3 sapper units attached to each one is my SOP in places like the Crimean entry points, Osinovets, etc. It's the best way I've found to get the fort levels up quickly.

Their morale may drop slowly, but I think they will still help with fort building. Just rotate them after a few turns.

Status Update T59

I was able to stabilize Supply Stocks by cutting production of air planes and tanks in half. Supply stocks are now growing again also very very slowly. I have also disbanded aprox. 30 tank brigades as I will never use them.

I had eight (8) armies with 0% supplies on T59.

Status Update T60

Supply Stores: 275197 (215741)
Global Supply Stock: 204%

7 armies and 1 air army with 0% supplies.

I can't help you. The hotfix must be published, but it's not something I can do. Until then you will have those issues.

morvael, you already helped a lot by identifying the problem and fixing it in the patch you provided. I was just reporting the numbers to show the effect of this problem. I also want to find out what number I need for Global Supply Stock for this situation to change.

I'll stop for now and will report when the situation changes.

Thanks again for your help!

It appears that you need Global Supply Stocks above 350% for your entire army to be in supply. If this is not the case some armies will simply not get any supplies. Unfortunately, the game handles this very poorly because cities/towns seem to get supplied from south to north. South of Tula my army was in perfect supply while north of Tula supply was spotty. For example 7th Independent Army was at 0% supply for 40+ turns. During the worst supply problems I had 7 armies out of supply, all in the North where it didn't matter that much.
