don't foget about move order. each corp that passes through an area reduces the forage value by 1.

7.3.1.4 + 7.4.1.2 can give up to a +2 modifier 

quote:

ORIGINAL: Murat

Let me clarify then. 7.3.1.4 states that all foraging is done WHILE moving. For each area you move through, each corp that occcupies that area (7.3.1.2) it modifies the roll by +1, up to a +2 modifier and you must use the lowest forage value. 

quote:

7.4.1.1 FORAGING PROCEDURE: A die is rolled for each foraging corps as it completes movement .... This die roll is modified as in 7.4.1.2, if any modifiers apply. The modified die result is than compared with the forage value of the area with the lowest forage value of all the areas passed through or stopped in, not counting the area in which the corps started ....

quote:

7.4.1.2 FORAGING MODIFIERS: When the die is rolled for a foraging corps, the following cumulative modifiers may apply:

7.4.1.2.1 Other Corps In The Area: For each other unbesieged corps in the area it currently occupies, whether that major power's or not (including friendly and enemy corps and corps which have, and corps which have not, already moved during this step), "+1" is added to the result of the die, up to a maximum of "+2". ....

7.4.1.2.2 Unused Movement Points: For each movement point the corps did not use, one is subtracted from the die. EXCEPTION: The die is not modified due to unused movement points if the corps is besieging or plans to besiege enemy forces in the area.
7.4.1.2.3 Force Marching: If the corps force marched, "+1" is added to the die roll.
7.4.1.2.4 Winter: If it is winter "+ 2" is added to the die roll unless the corps is not in the "winter zone" (see 9.0).
7.4.1.2.5 In Own Territory: If the corps did not move into an area outside the major power's territory this Turn and is not now in such an area, "1" is subtracted from the die roll.

quote:

7.3.1.4 FORAGING WHILE MOVING: Although the rules are covered in the Supply Step, foraging (see 7.4.1) is performed while corps are being moved.

quote:

ORIGINAL: Murat

It's simple, if you move a corps through an area with 2 or more corps already in it, you are getting a +2 modifier to your roll against the lowest forage area your moved through. If you moved through an area with only 1 corp in it, you get a +1 modifier. If you manage to move through areas without corps then there is no modifier. If foraging is done WHILE MOVING, you have to take into account unbeseiged corps occupying areas that you move through (you would be currently occupying that area as you moved).

you only roll forage in your end area.

quote:

You use the lowest forage value an area has which you passed.

quote:

Forage modifiers, Note not forage area modifiers:
-1 own MP teritory.

quote:

-1 pr unused movement point
+1 if forced marched
+2 Winter.

quote:

0-+2 Corps OCCUPYING in the area, you roll forage.

quote:

Nowhere in the rules state that a forage value is lowered, its modifiers for forage-rolls, not for forage values.

quote:

ORIGINAL: Murat

Always ready to admit if I am wrong so:

quote:

ORIGINAL: bresh
you only roll forage in your end area.

Quote the rule.

quote:

You use the lowest forage value an area has which you passed.

We agree here, which by the way contradicts your last statement.

No it doesnt, I always said you use lowest forage value, corps do not affect a forage value, they affect the forage roll, which is a dieroll when forage in the end area. Only corps occupying your end-area affects forage-roll.

quote:

Forage modifiers, Note not forage area modifiers:
-1 own MP teritory.

This applies to the lowest area you moved through as you already pointed out, NOT the area you end up in.

quote:

-1 pr unused movement point
+1 if forced marched
+2 Winter.

Again, agreed.

quote:

0-+2 Corps OCCUPYING in the area, you roll forage.

Again, quote the rule. What you are stating here says the forage area, something you disagreed with since you said the ending area, while the rules I stated indicates any areas that you move through.
No this is repeat, it doesnt, I always said you use lowest forage value of area passed, but you roll in end area, corps do not affect a forage values, they affect the forage roll, which is a dieroll when forage in the end area. Only corps occupying your end-area affects forage-roll.

quote:

Nowhere in the rules state that a forage value is lowered, its modifiers for forage-rolls, not for forage values.

Agreed. I now see the confusion you are having with this part. I mispoke up top, I meant the modifier can be gained as you move and modify your roll by up to a +2 depending on how many corps you move through.
No you only apply forage-roll modifiers (here) "corps-modifiers" 0-(+2) only apply in the area you end in, hence corps occupy end area, not passed they have to be in your end-area or they do not apply, they would only apply if you ended your move there

10.5.1 Foraging
“Foraging” represents living off the country. When a corps ceases movement it may elect (or be forced) to “forage” rather than use depot supply.

quote:


Foraging Procedure
A random number between 1 and 6 is chosen for each foraging corps after it completes movement.

quote:


Foraging Modifiers
When a random number is chosen for a foraging corps, the following cumulative modifiers may apply:
Other Corps In The Area: For each other unbesieged corps in the area it currently occupies, whether that major power’s or not, “+1” is added to the random number result, up to a maximum of “+2”.
