I have several ground units and have noted that some are well supplied and others have zero. How can I supply those who have nothing. Seems some units don’t want to share their wealth. ;)

Also how can I check what the total assault value is for my troops in a hex. I click on the ground unit symbol and it then goes to the screen of an individual unit, not the screen that lists all the ground units and their assault value on the left side. I would total each one, but it does not even list the assualt for those units as I go through them. :(

Is there a way to click on a ground unit symbol and get the window that lists all the units and the total assualt value?

I'm guessing you are trying to do an invasion, where you don't own the base. As your transports unload supply (ground troops unload first) the ones with no supply will get some. It might take a day or so. Because you don't own the base, you can't access the icom on the base screen that list the ground units, so you would have to leaf through them. This is a bit cumbersome, but you can estimate assault values by looking at what portion of the unit has unloaded.

[QUOTE]I'm guessing you are trying to do an invasion, where you don't own the base. [/QUOTE] Correct! Some have been without supplies for a couple of days. I guess they will just have to wait for their MRE's. :)

It does not say it on the units screen. ???

Hi,

The same thing happens to me as I unload the Fast transport sometimes they don't get their supply, even when Load troops is selected vs. the Troops only option. The base itself shows that there is supply present, just the poor independant Sasebo bn isn't allowed to eat for some reason :D

Anybody has a solution for this?

A good preliminary estimate of assault strength is the number of squads present, at least for infantry-based units and those units with attached infantry (some combat engineers). You get the current number of squads by bringing up the unit screen. For example, a marine regiment that has 99 squads at full strength, has an assault value of about 97 or 98. If you have only landed part of the Rgt then it will show say, 27 squads and similarly reduced levels of support and non-combatants. The "27" is the approximate assault strength of the part regiment. I haven't figured out how the assault strength of armored units is calculated.
