Question for Bill about Major countries and supply + sharing bmp folders
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2026 6:53 pm
I have 2 questions, please :
First question : About HQ and Major countries
Supposing 2 countries, A & B. They are allied in the same side and cooperative
1/ May units of A be attached to HQ of B ? Units of B attached to HQ of A ?
2/ May HQ of A give supply to units of B (attached or not) without no any restriction[/b], exactly like if they were units
of A ?
Mays HQ of B give supply to units of A (attached or not) without no any restriction, exactly if they were units of B ?
3/ May HQ of A form a “supply chain” with HQ of B without no any restriction ? May HQ of B form a “supply” chain with HQ of A without no any restriction ?
I presume that answer is “no” for 1/ and “yes” for 2/ and 3/, but I prefer to have absolute certitude before to modify my actual work
My goal is that : in my ASL Tactic Command mod, I would want to set Turkey as Major country and allied to German (Wehrmacht) in Axis side. Turkey would be renamed “Werhmacht supply” and would have no any units on map except HQ.
These HQ would have a graph icon of supply truck and would have no any attached units (due to the fact no any turkish unit is present except HQ) : their function would just be to give supply to wehrmacht (german) units and eventually if needed, to form “supply chains” with HQ of Wehrmacht (German).
Second question : is there any risk of bug if 2 countries share the same bmp folder concerning unit sprites ? (example : 2 countries in the same side (Axis), sharing the bitmap folder N°8 (Germany)
