Hi In the manual, following is written
Supply Combat Activity
Green o o
Yellow o X
orange X o
grey X X
Red ISOLATED
However, my grey unit, after moving to another hex, seems to have attack ability.
In player's guide (lesson 8) there is following sentence
"p34. they must have used their action capability to have an orange dot"
To me, manual and player guide seems to contradict with each other.
Please help

Units that have been supplied in a turn are green if they have not acted and can still attack, entrench, use extended movement, and so on, yellow if they have acted already.
Units that are out of supply but still have bullets left are grey if they have not acted, orange if they have.
Units out of supply with no bullets left have a red dot.
This clear things up?
Thank you!

YEs Indeed
Thank you for your tip!
(manual seems to be corrected about this. Players guide seems correct)

Another color question.
I've noticed in the terrain popup box, occassionally I will see enemy units with a dark red border around it (for the unit symbols along the left side of the box). What does this mean ? I couldn't find the answer in the book or the PDF players guide. ... not saying its not there but my old eyes couldn't find it.
I've only noticed this a few times ... maybe 4 or 5 times and I've played several AI games and about 8 or PBEM games.
thanks

Dark red borders around units in the unit pop up means that they are 'in the red' and out of supply/bullets.. I do believe.. they will take additional loses in combat.

I had a suspicion that was what it was. I just thought it was strange I would be allowed to know that about an enemy unit. I figured "the fog of war" would prevent me from knowing if a unit was out of bullets.
I'll post a small screen shot next time I notice it just so we'll be sure we're both talking about the same thing.
thanks for the help

I added a bmp of the red border I mentioned in the previous post. Is this indicating low ammo ? ... or something else ?
I'm Allied obviously. When i look at the unit dialog it doesn't show their low on ammo.
thanks
