Out of ammo?

Post by jynx11 »

Hi,
Been playing scenarios and been wondering, will my units ever run out of ammo. OR is it that the scenarios are to short hence I wont run out or do I need to have the command rule checked in the advanced options menu.
Thanks

I *think* the command rule has to be switched on, being as the HQs are responsible for supply

Units don't run out of ammo, but can be low on ammo where thier attack strewngth is halved.

See discussion in thread, "Supplies: Air, Smoke, Ammo."

The Command and Control option does not affect supply but it does affect morale. The platoons have to stay within 3 hexes of the command platoon (first platoon) or pay a morale penalty, or, if they maintain that distance, they get a morale bonus, I don't quite recall.

and it's "rounded up"
so a 3 str point platoon out-of-supply fires at 2
not 1

typically during a DCG I use my replacements to get my platoons back to 3 to take advantage of out-of-supply rounding
