Why not have a button on a unit " Truck Repl priority " we have refit and that works fine but no amount of refit seems to help gaining trucks - at least for me. It seems to be down to vast complex calculations ( which is fine) but which in the end lead to truck starvation and players clicking all sorts of stuff to see how to make trucks appear in units. Its a big game detractor.

We should be able to request which units gain trucks ourselves...

It would be nice to have few possible options:
- release, unit gives trucks to a pool, use it if you do not plan to use this units. For example some Italian infantry divisions have 1.3k! trucks but are still useless as other allies, why not to get trucks out of them without disbanding?
- hold, no trucks coming to this unit, nor it is getting rid of a trucks
- priority, try to get trucks
- top priority, try to get maximum amount of trucks

Would be very happy with this +!

Seems to fit into the menu options style on other stuff as well

More options for truck allocation would be nice. I think this should be in the suggestion forum though.

A supply truck button is available in Warplan games for land and air units.

From the manual:

Supply Truck�A land or air unit may use supply trucks once per turn if the unit is in a hex with a map
supply level of 1 or higher. Supply trucks increase the effectiveness of a unit by 4% and their unit supply
level by +1 for a potential maximum of 4. A player may raise the effectiveness of a unit beyond 100% for
a total of 3 turns in a row if the unit does nothing for those 3 turns. This represents an accumulation of
oversupplying the unit, usually for a major offensive. Supply trucks are permanently expended upon
use. For every 10 strength of a unit, 1 supply truck is expended. If the unit is an armor, mechanized, or
air unit the cost is doubled. If there are not enough supply trucks for a unit due to its strength, a player
can�t use the function. If a supply truck is used on an HQ, then all land and air units within 1 hex of the
HQ will get the supply trucks instead of the HQ.
