Immortal Finnish Corps

Post by Marcinos1985 »

Greetings,
in one of my games a Helsinki Finnish Corps is sitting near Kandalaksha, USSR. For several turns it is on 0 supply, but still it doesn't lose HP's. Screenshot below.
Gameid is 313522.

Hi Marcinos, I had to double check all of this and the rules here would be the following:

1) units at 0 supply, HQs excluded, not adjacent to a friendly supply hex will suffer desertion losses, 1 strength point. If they are reduced to 0 strength then the unit is considered lost.
2) units at 0 supply may suffer desertion losses if they are adjacent to at least 2 front line ZoC enemy units that have a minimum strength and supply >= 5.
2a) they will then have a 50% chance of 1 strength point loss per adjacent unit, up to 2 strength points. If they are reduced to 0 strength then the unit surrenders.

Looks like rule 1) will not apply as the immediate hex northwest of the Finnish unit is likely in supply coming from Salla.

Rule 2) would not apply as there are no front line ZoC units adjacent to the Finnish unit.

Thanks Hubert. I am a simple man - I thought 0 supply = HP loss per turn, end of the story. It seems there is more to it.
