Resupplys and movement points

[Theodor_Schmidt]

Hello Folks,

I'm trying to ascertain how many MPs a unit loses when trying to resupply. Perhaps this is akin to "how long is a piece of string?". If so, then when is it a good time to put supply priority to zero?

I say this, as I want to maximise MPs for my armoured units. I am on T3 of the GC. I have created the Lvov pocket and pushed 1st PzG between Vinnystia and Kiev. I want to take Kiev on T4 and rest them on T5 for resupply, refit and CPP gain. Supplies are between 70% and 85% for all, albeit some units have fuel at a lower level. I feel that I could turn resupply off for this one turn and have my units with higher MPs for the final push to Kiev.

Is this something that is possible?

You are asking the question of all questions.
As many things in this game there is no perfect solution/answer. All you can do is try.

Your MPs are generated not only by Trucks but also by Fuel (I guess you are mostly/only talking about MOTORIZED units).

Fatigue & Fuel. Units with fatigue and shortages of Fuel (motorized) or
Supply (non-motorized) lose MPs.


Calculate average fatigue of the unit based on the number and fatigue level
of each type of ground element. Reduce the number of MPs by the average
fatigue divided by ten, rounded down;


Determine if fuel (motorized unit) or supplies (non-motorized unit) are
sufficient to enable the unit to use the remaining MPs it has. For example,
if a motorized unit has only 50 percent of its maximum MPs remaining after
the calculations above, it will only require 50 percent of fuel it would have
needed to use its maximum MP.
