Supply losses

Post by dpt182 »

Hi,

I recently moved the 2nd PA Constabulary Divn into Laoag as the Japanese weren't coming into the mountains to fight me & had no troops there. I captured the town with 0 supply and The 2 PA Divn had 0 supply (presumably using the bayonet), but then I became target practice for the Japanese who destroyed at least 115 supply in several air attacks on the Airfield, Port & PA Divn at the beginning of the new turn both Laoag and the 2 PA still had 0 supply, where did this lost supply come from? All the other bases on the Island nares Japan are held or under Japanese control?

How did you "move the 2nd PA Constabulary Divn" to Laoag? Air? Sea? Somewhere else on Luzon?
A screenshot would help.

Hi,
I moved it in "Move" mode in the option screen (it had been pushed into the mountains East of Laog as a result of combat and I couldn't resist the urge to do something with it before it disintegrated like sone Dutch units in islands further South) & it shock attacked the empty base as I forgot to check it's progress as I was going to change it to "combat" mode when it got near.
Regards
David
sorry haven't worked out how to take screen shots yet either.

Supply moves from hex to hex, how much depends on many things. Simply moving into a hex is enough to cause supply to move there.

It's extemely difficult in this game to completely isolate a unit. Basically supply can come from any direction unless there's an enemy unit or the hex side belongs to them. E.g all six side.

The game does not have the ability to take screen shots. You need a separate ap, I use windows snipping tool. Extremly simple. open it, click new, draw a box around the screen area and save.

There is 5-key on keyboard to see how much supply you get, as a percentage.

And monsoon really grinds it down.

Press the windows key and hold it while then pressing the "PRT SC" key, aka print screen. Now you have it copied, then open a program such as Paint and paste the picture there. You can edit it, then save it.

If it crossed water such as a river, it would shock attack unless enough friendly forces had already made it through the same hexside and were still in that hex.

RJ, I use the PrtScr key without the Windows key and it captures the screen to the clipboard just the same. A bit simpler if you are trying to capture a combat animation moment.
