Soft Factor supply v unit supply display

The color of the triangle in the upper left doesn't seem to jibe with the units' supply percents.

Example: As shown in the image, the soft factor (light green) indicates the 2 regiments have over 85% supply and the division (dark green) has 71-85%, but the unit displays indicate they each have only 31%.

What am I missing?

Dear morvael:
Morwa, co ty kur** (rhyme!) robisz? To jest absolutnie bonkers [:D]
This has been obligatory Polish language lesson for y'all.

Anyway, our illustrious and brilliant programmers/devs decided to display super accurate supply/fuel situation, which due to it being super complicated, results in a 100% supplied unit showing up as 40% supplied, which is realistic and super which is good.

Works as intended.

Me, being an idiot, would like a 100% supplied unit to show up with a 100% supply and not with, say, 40% supply, but this game is made for folks who are much more [font="Tahoma"]grognard [/font]than me.

But because the dev is such a nice kolega, he will fix it so that us lesser mortals will see a 100% supplied unit show up in game with 100% supply in the next patch-aroni, so that even a not-so-grognerdy person like myself will be able to understand the supply situation.

in effect, the supply on counter is what was left in the unit when you start your part of the game turn. That means the supply allocation and usage elements have been run (all those various messages you see when you press end turn).

If a unit is around 35-40% then it had all the supply it needed and that indicates a healthy stock. Best check is to open up the controlling HQ and click on 'supply'. You'll see if (a) that HQ actually had enough supply to pass on and (b) if overall (global supply) you have enough supply for your entire army

Supply soft factor includes ammo, therefore it shows better "color code".
