How will supply be modeled in FoF. I suppose the model forage / supply wagons seen in CoG needs to be at least partially redesigned, or not? Will we have different supply levels for food and ammo?

There are no depots anymore as there were in CoG -- supply is automatically distributed to any units that have line-of-communication back to friendly territory.  What is new is that brigades have a strategic-supply rating, between 0-10.  They receive a certain amount resupply based on several factors (whether they are in rail-supply, fleet supply; their supply-priority setting; the logistics staff rating of their military group) and they use supply when moving and fighting and a little bit for upkeep/weapon-upkeep every turn.  Supply level is then used to determine how many caissons they get in detailed combat, and their effectiveness when besieging enemy forts/cities.

There are still forage rules, but the forage levels of provinces are now given in terms of number of brigades that can receive resupply.  Brigades can only forage up to 5 levels of strategic supply.

There are not separate ratings for food/ammo -- it's all abstracted into one category.

I am sorry if you already answered this one but... Will it be possible to attack supply wagons. This would also add to realisam of the game. Thank you.

Eric has stated in another thread that there are raiders, and that one function of cavalry/scouts would be to give you certain options before battle, one of which was raiding enemy supplies.

The bigger, more 'strategic' raids would likely just involve moving a force and disrupting the enemy's Line of Communication, like Sheridan's occupation of the Shenandoah valley in 1864.

Ah. Ok. Great. Thank you

Supply can be reduced right before combat by a "Scouting Action."  During combat, supply caissons can be attacked and possibly even captured.  On the strategic level, enemy strategic supply can be reduced by the actions of partisans/raiders.
