Suggestion: add a doctrine option and a Rally/Supply point

[KungPao]

I hate to see my Humvee TOW use all their ammunition in 5 min. then sit at the front line forever to get resupply while under enemy fire
Is it possible to add a doctrine option: if an unit's ammo go down to certain level, immediately withdraw, go to a rally point and re-supply there?

In Red Storm no. We are looking at a withdrawal/displace order for Southern Storm to allow some triggers to have the unit displace from its current position.

Great! Thank you

In the early days of Red Storm after it was released we did have the withdrawal routines set where a unit under pressure from the enemy that was low on ammo would withdraw to reload. I thought it worked fairly well and it allowed units to get themselves out of harms way. The drawback was that a force that was low on ammo would have a tendency to withdraw backwards instead away from the enemy instead of standing tall and in place getting slaughtered. Several players didn't like that. They wanted to see their units getting slaughtered by the enemy unable to properly rearm themselves and so they complained to the powers that be. The withdraw routine was altered to make these players happy so that units would not be as quick to withdraw from the front lines. So we now get to watch our units sit there on the front lines with the enemy barreling down on them with only rocks to throw at them.

Well hopefully in Southern Storm we will be able to provide enough SOP control to appease both types of commanders. [;)]
