Support
I've noticed that naval support is only available on some (not all) coastal areas. In one turn against the AI, I wasn't able to allocate any naval support, even to coast areas. Is this right?
I also seem to recall mortar support not being available to all units on the campaign map. How is this availability determined?
This has been addressed somewhat in the 07b patch
Mortar should be available on any map.

Supply
When/how does AB units regain supply? There are some instances where I have taken an exit VL leading to friendly lines, but ammo/fuel remains low. Do you have to take a whole map region before you are considered in supply again?
I haven't been tracking individual team ammo levels during battles, but I assume that as a BG runs low, this will be reflected in the teams ammo levels?
The Bg needs to be able to trace an uncontested line of maps back to the supply depots.
After the movement phase is done, each moving BG is reduced one fuel supply level.
After each battle the two BGs involved are each reduced by one ammo supply level.
At the end of each strategic turn supply lines are calculated and BGs are re-supplied or not as the case may be.

Cohesion
Some BG's (especially AB) have no chance to rest because they are stuck in battle after battle. Had a skim through the manual again, and it basically says that cohesion goes down as losses go up, and cohesion goes up with rest. It also says that the effect of lowered cohesion is that your units will respond slower in battle. Is this right? Any further insights into this feature?
You will find units become very fatigued even starting battles fatigued.
Some will become disorganized and not have full number of team members.
In battle units may not respond so readily to orders but I have not noticed this.

Repair and Replacement
The manual says that infantry units that lose 60% or more of their soldiers will be disbanded (eg. losing 4 out of the 6 men in a typical Allied rifle team), and that BG's out of supply have a reduced chance of replacing lost men.
So does that mean that for example an AB rifle unit that is fighting while out of supply might lose a team permanently if it loses say 2 or 3 men from the 6 man team?
The manual states that there is a 40% chance of recovering damaged vehicles. Does damaged mean immobilised? What about vehicles that have lost one or more crewmen - are they considered damaged?
yes to all (but i will follow that up with a little research)
