How does supply work

Post by mikeCK »

I can’t find anything in the manual about SUPPLY except a little in the scenario creation section. I can’t believe there isn’t any description of how supply works but I don’t see it. Regardless, I have a lot of units at 1% supply and I don’t know why

Can any of you point me to a post, video or section in the manual that explains it?

I’ve seen the thread about the new supply feature vs TOAW 3 but it doesn’t really tell me how the supply system works. What do the numbers mean on the supply overlay? What is the difference between a number 6 in a tan circle vs a number 6 in a circle that is half ran and half blue?

I’ve never played TOAW 3 so I’m struggling

Check chapter 9.1.7 in the manual, that's where detailed explanation of supply starts.

Ok. I found it in the manual. It isn’t in the table of contents and I’m using the PDF version on my phone

Thank you for directing me. Sorry to post something like this so easily answered

It's true it's not in the contents list, though. I looked for it too. I have this very same 'issue' - what am I doing wrong when all my units have no supply? I posted just earlier today about it - see the very helpful video linked there:
