Can someone tell me how it works to refit or supply mine units?
Please i need help.[&:]

I'm not familiar with mine units.  Can you post a screenshot or something?  Maybe describe it.  Axis or Soviet? 

German division with 3 hex of railroad or something like that, i cant give now a screenshot becausse i'm playing a pbem game.

I've also turn on refit for that division or is that for something else?

I'm struggling to understand what this means.
Units get supplies from their HQ if it is close enough to the HQ. If you select the HQ of the unit, the unit should have blue borders. This means it is in HQ supply. Otherwise it gets supplies from the nearest connected rail hex, if it is close enough to it.

If it says 'Refit' on the division's unit panel, it will receive new soldiers and equipment at a higher rate than normal. But if it isn't in supply it's not likely to receive any at all.

There is no mine unit. So I'm at a loss myself.

The FBD units don't have a refit button. If that's what he actually means.

Guys, I think by "mine" he meant "my".

Units refit best when they are:
1) on a working rail line;
2) in range of their higher HQ;
3) away from the front line; and
4) there are armaments and manpower available in your pools.

There are probably other factors that I am not thinking of or am unaware of.  Best bet is to get your depleted units off of the line and onto a rail line near your HQ.  Set it on refit and wait a couple of turns.  By then it should be picking up strength nicely.

He's not using a Redmarkus map where it says "mine warfare zone" is he?

Allright thanx. And yes "mine" is "my"
And do you mean with refit also supply?

Ok thanx alot.

i under stand it and i have seen when i'm placing the hq of a unit closer it went from red into blue, so it gets supplies.
What if the counters are orange or yellow?
Where can i find the hq with it's command range in the manual?
Thanx for your help.

Use copy&paste. First click the 'quote' button on the first comment, then copy the formatted text from it. Cancel the reply, then click the 'quote' button on the second comment, and paste the copied text into it. Voilà!

I'm not really sure about what the yellow borders mean. I guess I should find out.[:D]
The orange border is shown for the HQ unit of the currently selected unit. F.ex. if you select the Western Front HQ, STAVKA will be shown with orange borders.

Edit:scratch that, I do know what the yellow borders mean. They show which other units are subordinate to the same HQ as the currently selected.

thank you[:)]
