Hi Joe. Basically you may have gathered that supply truck radius is movement point dependant. The greyed units in your pic, being in an enemy ZOC face higher MP�s to reach them and the true penalty of course, is guided by the formula 1+ the number of steps in the enemy's hex.

Looking at that stack of Wiking exerting the ZOC, I'd estimate that the hex those Russians are holding is quite costly to enter. A wiking unit is usually 4 steps by memory and there look to be 3 of them stacked.

The way you can guage the likelihood of being in supply next turn is not to use the toggle you�ve active but to invoke the Supply Truck toggle with its multi colored overlay. Hexes indicated Green and Blue have a high likelihood of being supplied next turn.

IOW move your supply unit closer to these units now, preferably to a road and check the Supply Truck prediction toggle - you may just have increased their chance of supply. Sometimes however, being somewhat close to a unit is still not close enough. This is why air interdiction can completely mess up the best laid offensive plans in KP too.

Does this help?

Adam.
