Resupply Routes Display

With the new beta build 4.6.269 we added a new game feature, namely the display of actual supply routes. To see this just set the Display Lines Button on the Display Toolbar at the bottom of the screen to "Sup" ( the other options for this button are "Cmd" and "None"). Select a unit. If there is a resupply currently underway, it will show you the route. Otherwise it will show you a straight line from the Base to the unit as previously. Note that when it does display the route you will see that the last 500m or so of the route will be a blue straight line this is from the drop off point to the unit and indicated the last part of the journey that is handled by the unit itself.

Dave,
When the route shows RED, does that mean it has been interdicted or that there have been supply loses?

It means the supply rout has been cut. Usually this is because either they can't get a valid non-hostile route or they have tried sending a resupply column and it gets destroyed.

When the route is red, could I know WHERE was part of column destroyed?

Give a guy and inch and he wants a mile.[:)]

I'll add that to the wish list for CmdOps2.

Yeah I'm a greedy one too [:D]

Being able to see where it is destroyed would be great, but just being able to see the route now is a HUGE improvement on what we had before.

Thanks Dave & the rest of the Panther Team. [:)]
