Success, the defender retreated ! Now the only supply the Germans get is from the coast battery hex, and that is minimal. With a Major Port now captured, supply will improve. But first the port has to be repaired because the Germans would have destroyed it. From the Briefing Document:
17. Supply Dynamics
There are four Major Ports - Antwerp, Brest, Cherbourg and LeHavre. For Brest, Cherbourg and LeHavre, thirty days after capture they will become operational and their capacity will increase over the following thirty days. Approximately sixty days after capture, a supply point will be placed at the location (80% for Cherbourg and LeHavre, 70% for Brest). Note that to follow historical accuracy, these rules will apply only to the first of the three to be captured (after the first major port capture, capture of the other two major ports will result in no benefit to the Allies).
15. Rail Repair
The initial Allied Rail Repair rate is zero. Twelve turns after a Major Port is captured Rail Repair will begin at 1 possible hex per turn. This will increase by 1 every six turns until Rail Repairs reach a rate of 6 possible per turn.
Due to the capture of a Major Port, I get a Supply Unit and a Rail Repair Unit, and Brest gets a 25% Supply Point.
