Ok, so, I got a question on the supply values as reported on the map.

I know that blue is one team and red is the other team, but what does the yellow circle represent?

Interesting.. I guess I had thought. Strange thing tho, there's no enemy troops in my rear areas in this location.

ok, so here's another location on the map, Berlin. There was never any enemy this far in the rear. And, the rest of the open areas have no value listed.

Scenario related issue?

So, when I move the German unit out of Berlin, the supply dots show up, but again, in yellow...

Very strange...

But there must be a path to those areas from enemy supply sources. In other words, you have a gap in your lines somewhere that that path can flow through.

You have the "No Borders" Advanced Rules option turned on. So, you only get the supply info on hexes that you have units adjacent to. It is actually everywhere. (Turn "No Borders" off and see).

Okie, I think I got it now. Thanks for setting me straight on that piece. For supply to flow, does it need 1 open hex to move through, or an unobstructed flow through hex?
And thanks for the borders reminder.

From 9.1.7 in the manual:

Lines of Communication
A Line of Communication is a path from one location to another.
Lines of Communication are blocked by enemy units, locations
adjacent to enemies and not occupied by friendly units, non-
Road Badlands terrain, non-Road Dunes terrain, or terrain that
cannot be entered by a normal Land unit.
