You dont have unlimited supply via ports. How much you get depends from port size.

By far the best logistics system in any game to date.

How did you arrive at basic parameters like how many trucks should be used for transporting freight x number of hexes or how much freight can fit on a double rail line?

Have i understod this correct. A railyard depot may only have two possible levels of damage due to the railyard being bombed...
Either fully functional or functional at a mere 10 percent of its capacity.

If i have two prio 4 depots along the same rail line one after the other will the second depot recieve any freight if the first one has recieved up to its capacity ? or will the first prio 4 depot halt any further deliveries along that line ?

1. Where did you read that?

2. Freight is not stopped at the first depot. I've seen cases where a player has almost all of their depots set at level 4 although I generally don't recommend it. But you'll get differing opinions over it.

So on (1) a damaged railyard will be from 1-99%. This is true whether it is bombed or captured. If the capacity of a base is 10k tons and it is 50% damaged, it can only hold 5k tons. Now that is of course what it can hold, and not what it can get. That is where that factor of 10 comes into play. In this example, a 50% damaged railyard also has a 50% chance that the freight shipped to its depot will be divided by 10. So the more your railyard is damaged, the greater chance it will see fewer supplies.

This is why you want a good number of railyards with functional depots in reasonable proximity to the front.

Supply Allocation
Units linked to a HQ with a supply priority of less than
4 will not try to receive all the supply they notionally need.
The chart below shows how unit supply priority will limit
the extent that a unit will try to attempt replenishment
during a particular supply/replacement segment.
Unit Priority Percent of Need
4 < 90%
3 < 90%
2 <70%
1 <50%
0 <30%

I also had problems with the refit option in Wite1. And this part of the manual is not really understandable for me:

Does that mean if a priority below 4 is assigned that unit will never get enough of it needs? Wouldn't it be better to reduce the TOE instead? In which case would you assign a priority of 0 or 1?

"Note that depots will function less efficiently if either the railyard or port in the hex is damaged. In turn they will function more efficiently if a HQ (other than a type 4, High Command level HQ or any air HQ"

Does ist mean army hq (on axis side e.g.) can't do that? Too bad, since in my opinion army hqs would be in need of being buffed. Imo they only serve for leader checks and are otherwise useless.

quote:

well TOE % is a poor guide to actual supply demand and is often slow to adjust either way.

what you are doing with those numbers is setting 2 things:

a) demand for supply on a particular sector
b) how much effort a given formation will put into gaining supply

So if you either want to build up your depots or simply can't supply enough to a sector then use those values to match off supply/demand. More importantly if local demand > supply then units will go looking for what is missing. As in WITW you can find yourself losing more MP/CV due to the resultant truck shortages than due to any supply shortages.
