Question – Zook08 Supply system for Newbies.

[balto]

I am rereading this and some things are still unclear to me. If someone would comment on each of my summary bullets below from Zook’s guide, I would greatly appreciate it.

1a) Supply flows 250 AP from the producing city to the Selected HQ. If HQ is >250 AP away, the Supply is not lost, it is just not delivered. This flow is FREE (cost nothing).

1b) You do NOT need Land/Naval Cap for this to happen to Supply.

1c) The FREE Supply move only costs 1 AP on road. If you move it manually, it costs 10 AP on road.

2a) Production flows 250 AP from the city to the Selected HQ. If HQ is >250 AP away from the Producing city, the Production is not lost, it is just not delivered. This flow is FREE (cost nothing).

2b) The FREE Production move only costs 1 AP on road. If you move it manually, it costs 10 AP on road.

3) If you have an endless string of HQs all within 250 AP of each other that originate back to the Producing city, you would be able to have supply/production delivered to you at the end of the HQ string in ONE turn for free.

Thanks

The numbers 1a, 1c, 2a and 2b may vary from mod to mod, but I think in the base game, this is how it is. 1b is true. 3 is false, when it comes to other production than supplies, which will be requested by the top HQ. Items other than these do not move up the chain.

With TOE the endless hq is true for stuff to be delivered BUT it goes one Hqs at a time and I believe each Hqs has to have land or rail cap to deliver outside self delivery range.

Thanks Ernie.

TT, I have been using the TOE for everything. I also believe I am seeing what you are referring to. It is only one layer of HQ at a time.

Since I posted this, I checked out the rulevar and it says max HQs in a string is 4.

Thank you both.
