I have this unit of 10 infantry (weight 5 each one, so 50 weight).
Why can't I strategic move them through the south were I can still have 81 logistical point left ? Isn't logistical the current weigth I can move through my road ?

Remember to account for the weight of the unit's food and ammunition stores as well. You can see the currently selected unit's weight on the right side above the bottom panel, next to the currently active command mode, if you have Strategic Move mode selected.

Wow!! I can't believe I've been playing this game almost non-stop for a year and a half and I never noticed this extremely useful indicator. I'd been calculating approximate weights by hand or gut feel. [X(]
Thanks for pointing it out.
I've posted an image for anyone else looking around for it.

It was only added with Airforces.
As it is important for airbridges in particulary.

Oh, I see... thanks for that - now I don't feel quite so dim-witted! [;)]

This is also what makes really annoying to strat move heavy bombers.

...that kinda makes me wanna say that pipelines could be a reasonable addition, given how heavily this game leans on logistics.

Water, Fuel and Electricity already travel for free via pipes and cables.
So does IP, Emergency Food, Storage Space and a few other things I can not remember on the spot.
