Clarification on the Area Supply and Auto Supply rules
Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2005 11:08 pm
There seems to be some confusion in the manual about the Area Supply units and Auto Supply units so we thought it best to clarify the rules here.

This is based on our understanding of how the game works, but we have been unable to confirm it 100% with the programmers (too busy patching WaW and working on the Civil War game).

Area Supply
When the Area Supply game option is activated, at the beginning of a player’s movement phase the computer will attempt to move:
- one Supply Point into each land region containing a friendly unit.
- one Supply Point into each land region containing an enemy partisan unit and at least one friendly Infantry, Militia, Airborne, or Armor unit.
This is an aide to help the player maintain one Supply Point in every region for defensive purposes and help the player supply his anti-partisan garrison.
If both enemy partisan units and friendly Infantry, Militia, Airborne, or Armor units are present this means two Supply Points will be moved to region. The supply moves that occur due to Area Supply only happen if there aren't already the required supplies in an area.
Auto Supply
When the Auto Supply game option is activated, at the end of a player’s movement phase the computer will attempt to move one Supply Point into each land region containing enemy partisans and at least one friendly Infantry, Militia, Airborne, or Armor unit (if no supply is already present in the area). The supply must follow normal movement rules, and since this is at the end of the movement phase, it may be impossible for a supply unit to reach the desired area. This is an aide to help the player supply his anti-partisan garrison.
Players may use the Supply Unit button on the Unit Movement Menu to supply a unit.
