There needs to be some means of waging war without a capital.

But what kind of war can a nation realistically expect to wage if it loses it's capital?

I was talking specificaly about the ability of the British / Americans to carry on fighting in France if France is defeated. Without a capital they can't - it's game over. Same with Amphibious invasions - you don't need to worry about them - just make sure the enemy can't take a capital (full supply) or a city (half supply) and the enemy is stuck on the coast....

Not only that, if you decide to do a separate install for the patch, any games started with the patch will probably be impossible to finish if the separate server is closed when the patch stops being beta.

Right, that does make sense. I was heading down the guerrilla path.

Capital cities could be seen as irrelvant in talking about supplying the troops.

Would it be more relevant to use "Resource Centres" representing centres of industry. If these are spread around in accurate positions it may make more sense to capture the Ruhr than Berlin.

The loss of each centre could see a % drop in supplies available for that nation, you could still have a morale % loss for your Capital falling. (And a plus for % the captor.)

As for an "Amphib" landing, a "base" with a very restricted supply range would represent the beachhead and allow a port to be captured which should then allow a supply link back to home ports.
(Dont tell me the game makes the Brits/Yanks trace supply to a French supply point as implied by the previous posts!!)

It would be way more realistic for supply to come from ports - so long as you still have a connection to a port, you should receive full supply.
