bug with resupply ?

[davidoux]

With resupply order, I get a warning popup that my unit is > 1500m of my HQ,

I can either click on proceed or on the X to close the windows and (I suppose) don't send this order,
but as a result I get no Resupply order and my order count being increased by one

is that normal ?

What type of unit is resupplying? Is this head to head or single player? Game Version?

We'll sort this out.

For helos to resupply, they must "land"/resupply within 3 hexes (1500m) of the HiHQ on the map. When they go low on ammo they will fly back on their own as well.

What is supposed to happens if I resupply and I am not within 3 hexes ? :

resupply less effective or the order is canceled (with loss of one order in the count) ?

When I get a popup with a message "Unit must be < 1500m ...."

I have either the choice to click on proceed or click on the small X upper right;
My assumption was that clicking on the X cross would close the windows and not process the order
(and thus not loosing it)

I will have to check it out this evening. It should not resupply, but I not sure off the top of my head that it eats an order.

Hello, any update on this topic ?

thanks

No update at the moment. Busy evening with non game stuff. This is on my short list to go over and check with Rob tonight. The only question left is the order loss issue.

Hello, any chances to have an update on that soon ?

thanks

If a helo is ordered to resupply and the unit is beyond 1500m of the HiHQ, it will give the message, but also eat the order point too. We did add this issue to our list and we may, may, look at some tweaks in the numbers and use of those points. It won't be an earth shattering change, but we can look at some of the data and existing code to make those changes without introducing new mechanics. If we do anything it would be with a 2.09 update early next year.
